I own an Inspiron 5100 notebook that was originally installed with a
CD-RW/DVD drive. I recently purchased a NEC ND-6500A DVD+/-RW drive.
Other than the fact that the drive only burns DVD+/-R discs at 6X
instead of the advertised 8X, I'm very satisfied with it. However, the
face plate of this drive is black, while the color of my laptop is
grey. Also, the face place is smaller than the original drive, which
"sinks" more inside my notebook, and therefore gives the impression
that there's a big hole on the left side of it.
Is it possible to replace the face plate on the new drive with the one
from the original drive? If so, where is there a resource on the Net
that I could learn how to do this?
TIA
