    Hello,

    I just purchased the G73SW-A1 and love it but I thought it was also a Blu-Ray Burner...My fault.....I want to change out the drive and buy the Blu-Ray burner but do not know where to purchase it. I see the G73SW-3DE is the model that has the Blu-Ray burner. Will that drive work with the G73SW-A1? If so, where can I purchase it? What is the model number of the drive?

    thanks....
    Dave

    looks like most of those drives have tons of firmware related issues...
