So I have been away for a while cause dammit my rig is working great til yesterday I finally had a problem. My dvd drive does not work correctly anymore. I see many DVD/Blu Ray devices on amazon and ebay and none of them have the same shape as the one in my computer. Mine has a tapered shape to it on the front. Now my question is, which I should get, I want blu ray, and is the face removeable and tradeable or am I stuck with only using a OEM G75 vw dvd drive. TYVM in advance.

I would recommend that you try obtaining this information through our service team. The only people who would be able to provide this information through the forum will be those who own this laptop and have upgraded to a Blu-ray drive.

You just need the correct thickness. I think the 9.5 mm one? I'm not sure just measure it using a ruler or caliper. Once you removed the old Optical Drive, you can also remove the plastic edge and lock screw bracket and install it to the new DVD or BD drive. I don't know the correct model of the drive though.

Here's a video of girl upgrading her laptop with a Blu-ray drive. Just be extra careful in removing the plastic though - unlike in the video (it could easily break).
