They are not like a 3.5 hard drive or a 5.25 dvd rom for PC which are a national standard. For the most part there are two differences in height. One is a slimline, one is a super slimline. I have seen people who have the rom sticking out because it was made for the company. So what you have to do is remove it and measure it. Now comes the part of finding one, then you have to make sure the dimensions, and the interface are the same, most are old IDE. Very new is "usually' Sata.

This is why you have to remove it, put it back if you need to use it, then search.

Now it's not like a dvd rom 5.25 where almost everyone sells them.

The best thing is to do a search, say you find it's a slim, Sata interface.

So you search, laptop dvd blu ray internal slimline, this is just an example.

You can start at a place called tigerdirect, and Ebay.

Most everyone will tell you to go external, if you mess up you wasted all the money. Not easy to remove, it's not like I can explain how to dissemble it here. Some are a nightmare to pull out. Then there are MFG that don't give you any tech info or a diagram so you end up figuring it out.

Most people who can do this, wouldn't be posting this question, they would know what to do.

Good luck, and if you have problems, remember it's not my fault, as I don't recommend you do it.

    Bad answer! You shouldn't call yourself a fixya expert if that's the kind of help you can provide.

Blue ray with TSSTcorp&Prod_CDDVDW_SN-S083A

No, the Samsung SN SO83A does not include the laser that reads a Blue Ray disc. It can read and write DVDs, DVD-DL, and CDs. The Samsung SH-B083L/BSBP is an internal Blue Ray reader and DVD writer; however, it is not a slim optical drive and may not fit a laptop. There are some SATA slim blue ray drives from other manufacturers. You will need to check the size drive that will fit your case. A better option might be to get an external blue ray drive. (Note: any drive listed as OEM will not include Blu-ray playback software.)

I hope this helps.

My laptop won't play blu-ray disks, it keeps saying insert disk, however on my laptop there is a sticker saying what the laptops specs are and there is a blu-ray symbol.

The blu-ray has been an $200 optional extra, you have it only if you have specially ordered it when you bought the laptop and paid the extra price.  If you haven't payed it then you have the normal DVD-writer and a sticker saying that if you pay some more money you can put a blu-ray unit in.

I have a HP Pavillion DV6920 EA laptop and when I insert a blu-ray dvd into it the laptop can not read the disc

Oh, does it have a Blu-Ray reader? Most laptops are made with a DVD burner max. Check your drive. Blu-Ray is new and too high quality. It needs special players (mostly very expensive) and they cannot be played on normal home DVD players.

The Sony PlayStation 3 is arguably the best Blu-Ray player, apart from being a gaming console.
