Title: DVD Rewriter for my laptop - advice needed
Post by: donkey on Wednesday, February 27, 2008, 19:24:18
Asking for advice again...this time from pooter bods.

My laptop's dvd rewriter is no more, it has ceased to be (and so on).

Rather than get it fixed, I thought I would get an external one and plug it in.  I imagine this will be cheaper.  

Can anyone suggest one I can buy that will do the job at the cheaper end of the market?

You'll probably get another internal one cheaper. I bought a new one for my last laptop on eBay for £15 new and boxed/bagged. Easy as fuck to change, laptop drives just slip out.

Well, having said that, just looked through eBay ang you can get externals for around £25 and internal ones are about the same.

Cheers Barry.  Any particular make/model?  I don't really know what I'm talking about clearly.

I've got a Freecom external for my laptop, works fine.

I have an LG lightscribe job and it works a charm and the software you get with it is decent too (Nero, Power DVD and Power Producer)
