    Hello, i want to upgrade the optical drive on my Sony Vaio VGN-SR29VN to a blu ray drive.
    My optical drive is the MATSH*TA DVD-RAM UJ862AS.
    I've found a blu ray drive on ebay, its a PANASONIC Blu-Ray DVD Re-Writer Model. UJ-220S. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Panasonic-UJ-220-2x-BD-R-Blu-Ray-DVD-RW-Drive-Sony-oem_W0QQitemZ270477458115QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_LaptopAccessories_LaptopDrives?hash=item3ef9b67ac3

    Laptop specs: https://shop.sonystyle-europe.com/SonyStyle/b2c/display/%28isQuery=yes&z_cua_accArea=z_cua_specs&citemprod=4860F42ECF650051E10080022BC29B74&query=*VGN-SR29VN*&citemarea=4874441E0F960110E10080002BC29B86&layout=15_132_61_59_133_137&ctype=areaDetails&next=seeItem&carea=4874D28E03EA0180E10080002BC29B86&order=null%29/.do

    First of all, would it be possible to upgrade the drive in the first place?
    If so, what would i have to do and what blue ray drive would be compatible?

    Please help, :)
