Sony Laptop Repair Experts...HELP!

[Okieflyer]

I have a Sony PCG-K45 Notebook computer. My cdrom/dvd drive went bad.

I bought a brand new one but can't find any info on how to replace it.

Does anyone know anything about it or have a link to a site that could help?

Aren't those plug and play?

I mean...maybe one small screw out and you just pull out the old one and stab the new one...

I've had a Dell, Toshiba and an IBM Thinkpad...I think all of those were like I was saying.

I'm not an expert though but I play one on the SO at Soonerfans.com.

Just checked my Dell and it has a button on the outside next to where the drive pops out...

I just pushed it and a small tab came out and then I pulled the drive out.

I've seen those. I thought this one would be that easy, but it's a sony.

We may have to. You mean none of the board people are laptop experts?

This could be a project worth $20!

But not from Doleo, no offense Doleo.

So, are we gonna rip that laptop apart today or not?
