    You remove the bezel from your current drive and put it on the new driver. Of course it will write DVD-writer or whatever on your blu-ray, but it's the functionality that matters.

    Yea, that's what I was thinking. Just wondering about the eject button alignment or is that a non issue?

    Hasn't been in my case and I've tried several blu-ray drives before I settled for my current one.

    Eject button alignment should not be an issue at all.

    The vast majority of the optical drives for laptops will be very similar in design and the face panel button issue is more of a one size fits all for alignment.

    The faceplate just has to match the laptop then.

    Thanks for the advice. I'll update on how it goes once I get it here and installed.
