Compact Disc drives

[Pin Plot]

Can someone tell me please "Is the Compact Disk Drive fitted to a Twinhead P88T note book computer interchangable with one fitted to a A5000 Twinhead laptop"?

The only way to be sure is to take them out and look at the drives. If the connectors and the shapes match, then they are interchangeable.

Only God knows what such El Cheapo makers put in their machines and there's no part numbering scheme to help one either.
