    Hello all I purchased my M17X-R2 without the upgrade to the Blueray drive (yeah kicking myself now). I was wondering if anyone knew if it would be possible to buy and install myself. Just seems like im not getting the full effect form the RGB LED screen without the blueray.

    you sure can!! panasonic UJ235A is the model number for the burner and sony bc5600 is the reader. There are a few posts on this just search it out. It is not a hard install as I have done this on a R1 before.
