    Is there any company who will provide a Blu-Ray drive that is compatible with the Presario F557WM?

    Most optical drives use the same optical drive pata port. If you can, can you remove the optical drive from your laptop, and post a picture of it here. If it is a standard optical drive port, than you can upgrade without any problems. The only problem you may have is the faceplate of the drive not matching the contours or paint color of the system. This may be a big issue for some, but if its not to you, than you should be good to go upgrading it.

    Take a pic and let us help you find a blu-ray drive which will fit into your laptop
