hp dv7t 17" laptop, possible to swap DVD drive with bluray one later?

Thread Starter 
I was about to cancel my original order, as I wanted to go for the bluray.. but in cancelling the order, it appears the 30+ percent coupon code i used has expired as of today.. so for now i'm holding off..

I've seen on the internet, the bluray player or one of them, i think, that this model uses..

I think its model UJ-120

Does anyone know if its possible to later on, swap the drives out.. doesnt this involve opening it up.. (void warranty?)...

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Optical drives can be easily swapped out, without taking the whole comp apart. And I don't believe that would void your warranty.

cheers ...

Yes you can! I did it to my dv9000, put a udja-210 in it, works perfect and the factory bezel for the drive fits without any issues either.

Nah, hopefully members would look at this thread before, and can offer to sell a slot-loading drive for your dv7-1135nr.

I have a slot load just collecting dust at my house that fits laptops. It was for sale awhile ago but I think I might keep it. If you can't find one after a few weeks, I suppose I might be able to sell mine.
