How to replace strange OEM DVD burner with aftermarket BD-RE
I have an Acer Predator AG3 desktop computer that has an unconventional SATA DVD burner. Slim one and looks like one for a laptop. The burner has gone bad and I'd like to replace it with a BD-RE. I've found a slim one on Ebay but before ordering it I'd like some advice on the replacement.
There may be a bezel issue but I can live without the bezel. Also I'm pretty good at jerry-rigging stuff as long as there is bracket compatibility.
I guess my question is whether slim DVD/DVD-RE drives are pretty much interchangeable or whether I'm looking for trouble.
