forash · April 2016

Hello.

Is it possible to add a DVD drive to my Aspire ES1-512-C59L?

If so what parts do I require?

Thanks

Hello,

Have you removed the dummy ODD and seen a SATA connector in the bottom of the housing?

I haven't attempted to do that yet unfortunately

See the attachment. It's very easy. Only one screw to unscrew and you could remove the dummy ODD.

I'll give it a go and let you know how I get on!

Thanks
