I have an older compaq 2200 laptop...say about 4-5 years old. The CD-RW/DVD-ROM went out of it and I need to replace it...I found one specifically for it on ebay for 90.00+s&h and in the description he states that it will fit in the caddy and needs the faceplate.
This leads me to think that I can get any optical drive and put it in there as long as the connections are the same...(IDE?) I really hate to spend $90.00 on a drive if I don't have to.
How can I find out if any dvd-rw will fit correctly?
