    Hope someone can answer this.
    I have a Toshiba Laptop Satellite A45-S150. It's DVD CDROM has stopped working. The CDROM is a Toshiba SDR2412 and I'd like to replace it myself with a Toshiba SDR2612 that's available from UNITY Electronics over the internet.
    Incredibly, neither Toshiba nor their authorized repair people (COMPAR, in Minnetonka, Minnesota) will confirm that the seemingly new and improved SDR2612 will be a viable replacement.
    I'd appreciate any advice - like, will it fit?
    Thanks.

    It might be best if you contacted the seller and got a guarantee that the unit would fit your laptop.:)

    Thanks for replying. I'll try that tomorrow.
    Someone also suggested that an external DVD drive might be a good fit.
