topic RX644 - Replacement (upgraded) DVD+/-RW? in PCs & Accessories https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/rx644-replacement-upgraded-dvd-rw/m-p/83339#M30861 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>My much upgraded Vaio RX644 (Geforce 6800, second 120GB Hard Drive, additional 512MB RAM, Aoundblaster Live 5.1 audio) is well out of warranty and this isn't a plea for repair support.<BR /><BR />However, I would like to replace the original Sony DW-U12A DVD RW and Asus CD s400/A CD ROM with a more modern (dual layer) DVD RW and DVD ROM drive respectively. Simple you may say .... only I would also like to retain the original drive bezels and DVD/CD tray face-plates so as not to 'ruin' the Vaio look.<BR /><BR />Does anyone know whether you can remove the Sony drive bezels and tray face-plates without damage? And if so, whether there is a brand/make/model of DVD RW (dual layer) and DVD ROM which will accept them?<BR /><BR />Bit of an obtuse query, but grateful for any informed recommendations.<BR /><BR />Thanks in advance<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 22 Feb 2005 19:40:24 GMT phoenix198 2005-02-22T19:40:24Z RX644 - Replacement (upgraded) DVD+/-RW? https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/rx644-replacement-upgraded-dvd-rw/m-p/83339#M30861 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>My much upgraded Vaio RX644 (Geforce 6800, second 120GB Hard Drive, additional 512MB RAM, Aoundblaster Live 5.1 audio) is well out of warranty and this isn't a plea for repair support.<BR /><BR />However, I would like to replace the original Sony DW-U12A DVD RW and Asus CD s400/A CD ROM with a more modern (dual layer) DVD RW and DVD ROM drive respectively.
