A lot these days you have to open the case to replace the drive, I think more and more manufacturers seem to be doing this so they earn money from people sending it to their "offcial" repairers - but if you know what your doing then you can save a lot of money obviously

Its is shit yes, it was either that or wait two weeks for a vaio to be delivered. I was greedy and wanted it for work that night

Can't find a manual but I suspect PTP is correct and it is internal.

Looks like a replacement drive would be about £35 quid

But you'd have to be confident in what you are doing a) to make suer you get the right drive and b)  if you need to open the case to replace as they can be fiddly little buggers.

Quite how much they'd charge you to get it done for you is anyone's guess.

Underneath the DVD drive on the bottom of the laptop should be a screw(s) holding it in place or a switch you can flick to remove it.

Undo that/those and you should be able to remove the drive
