Hey Guys, I couldn't upload any pics but have found a web page with my Lappy on and if you scroll down there are pics of the underside and of the drive.

The pic isnt hugely detailed so its hard to tell. One from your lappy would be ideal

However, looking at it, I dont think its as simple as in the video I posted

HP are good for one thing - their service guides

It's actually sounding promising. Remove the screw to the left of the serial number sticker. use a paper clip to eject the 'media tray'. the drive should then be released.

It sounds like the drive might be a regular slim IDE unit inside the media bay casing. You can remove it easily to check though

Whoohoo! A breakthrough! I managed to find a site with instructions on how to remove the drive-undo 1 screw, put a paperclip in a release hole, a voila! It's removed!!!! Just need to find a reasonably priced replacement and I can do it without getting (possibly) ripped off at a shop!

If there are any eagle eyes out there for a bargin I'm after a dvd writable drive No TS-L532R


And once again, a very, VERY BIG THANK YOU TO YOU ALL
xxxxxxxx

That looks like a Samsung drive according to a quick Google.

Prodiving it is a regular slimline drive, and of these should work fine and will probably be higher spec too.
