I am not sure why you want to replace a new drive - if it is to get Region Free operation why not get an external drive?<BR /><BR />The problem you will have is re-fitting the external Sony faceplate unless you buy a drive of the same make and series.<BR /><BR />Unless you can refit this, your Vaio will not look good!!!<BR /><BR /> <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.lt/html/@8A5BDCECEE2E5AB683F2BDAA500F2036/images/smilies/035.png" alt=":slight_frown:" title=":slight_frown:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 15 Apr 2007 08:36:17 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/ar-31m-dvdcombo-replace-part/m-p/98050#M76751 Blencogo 2007-04-15T08:36:17Z Re: AR-31M DVDcombo replace part ?! https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/ar-31m-dvdcombo-replace-part/m-p/98051#M76752 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Yes i want replace this for get Region Free operation. I do not want a reader external because I am often in displacement and do not want to encumber me. Once LiteOn I place from there will replace the frontage of the Matshita reader so that my Vaio is always beautiful. Thank's for your reply<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 15 Apr 2007 09:13:29 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/ar-31m-dvdcombo-replace-part/m-p/98051#M76752 misterblue31 2007-04-15T09:13:29Z Re: AR-31M DVDcombo replace part ?! https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/ar-31m-dvdcombo-replace-part/m-p/98052#M76753 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hello, it's work very fine !!!<BR /><BR />To replace reader DVD, it is necessary to remove all the screws of the frame.
