Hi, I just purchased an Aspire V3-572PG-56CY and noticed on the right side there seems to be a slot for an optical drive. Would it be possible for me to purchase a 3rd party optical drive and install it in the laptop?

    You need a  9.0mm Tray 6X SATA Internal Slim DVD CD Burner Drive, part number (Panasonic part number KO.00607.010), Also check if there are other brands avaliable.
     
  • Hello,

     

    To complete the Sharanij's reply, you need these parts to mount an ODD on Aspire V3-572PG-56CY:

     

    42.ML9N2.001 - ODD BEZEL

    33.ML9N2.003 - ODD BRACKET

    KO.0080D.014 - DVD RW 8X SUPER-MULTI 9.0MM TRAY GUA0N HLDS LF+HF W/O BEZEL SATA M-DISC

                          (Hitachi LG Data Storage)

    KO.00807.016 - DVD RW 8X SATA M-DISC 9.0MM TRAY SUPER-MULTI DRIVE UJ8E2QBAA2-B PANASONIC

                          LF+HF W/O BEZEL (UJ-8E2)

     

    You can request quotes and order these parts from your Acer store (Canada).

    Call the Acer Store. Its not that expensive and comes with 3 pieces. the ODD, bezel, and bracket. Mine was 69 plus 8 for shipping. I think its more than worth it. Official product at a reasonable price. First speak to Service I believe, but they dont know much.  Ask for the parts department.
