Laptop DVD burner?
    #5078068 - 12/18/05 12:45 PM (18 years, 5 months ago)

So through breaking open this broken laptop I managed to rip out the dvd burner. But the part where it connects is different than inside my PC.

I'm wondering, is there any way of hooking it up to my computer, or is there some type of adapter I could get?

Or am I out of luck?

if you didnt break it, you need to get a atapi to ide adapter or atapi to usb. they are all over ebay. ive never messed with em so i cant help with that.

It's a bit damaged but it looks like it should work.

Thanks a lot though, I'll definitely look into this.

Let me ask you one more question. The atapi to ide adaptor would be for internal usage, right? And atapi to usb would be external?

All laptop burners are the same type, the thing is on the back of your current dvd or cdrom drive there is a little circuit board that is removal and adapts it to the connection in side. So you should be able to just swap these connections, that is if the dvd burner itself fits in the laptop sometimes these plastic casings get in the way
