    best thing to do is find out what kind of drive you have and see what interface it has (ide or sata). You might want to research what drive was in the n61 that has a bluray. I bought the bluray for my g50 by researching what drive fits in it. The one I got was from a sony vaio but swapping the bracket around it worked great.
