hey folks, I don't have much experience with opening up computers and really want to get this CT10N Blu-Ray Drive for my 7811 FX but I don't have any idea how I would go about installing it.
Does anyone know of any guides out there that explain this install step by step?
Do i have to install any software cd's or is it just plug and play?
How long will it take to install the drive?
For those of you that already have this drive, what quality of playback can i expect from this Blu-Ray drive?

Is this the right drive because I found it for $101 on ebay shipped:

This should do the trick, I highly recommend doing some research on the drive. Overall a good drive, some issues with firmware (2 users, myself included) other then that no issues. -
I got the same one it works fine

flip laptop over
remove rubber plug that hides mounting screw
remove screw
slide out slim drive
remove mounting bracket from back of old drive (2 screws) Try not to do a RangerXML and lose the screws (sorry Ranger could not resist)
mount bracket to new drive (2 screws)
remove faceplate from old drive (be careful tabs are delicate)
attach faceplate to new drive
insert new drive
install screw
install rubber plug
fire the lappy back up and it will install the drivers for the new drive
