19rsn007 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 If you are talking about replacing the dvd-drive totaly....you have to flash your drive key to it. The dvd-drive's laser lens can be swapped by a new one without any problems. I did 2 of them myself. They only thing you have to remember is that a brand new lens ofter comes with a little blob of solder on 2 pins that has to be removed. It's a protection for something, but will ruin the laser when it's powered with the 2 pins connected together. I had 2 Lite-on drives with bad laser-lens which I replaced with succes. 1 I replaced with a brand new laserlens, 1 I replaced by a lens from a BenQ drive which happened to be the same....lucky me. The 2nd drive is gonna be my spare one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
