Looking for a blu-ray drive for T400

#1 Post by richyboypalm » Mon Oct 01, 2012 5:32 am

Hi, I'm currently looking for a Blu-Ray drive for my T400, I live in the UK, so posted to UK as well would be great, I only paid £160 for the laptop, so I can't really pay more then the laptop cost me. Thanks Richard

After some digging and not finding a drive yet, I have been told any 9.5mm SATA drive will fit, so has anyone got a 9.5mm Blu-Ray Drive forsale?

I can get the original Thinkpad part, but they aren't cheap, probably at least $100. I would have responded sooner but another issue I'm concerned about is region coding. Any drive I get will be region coded for north america. These drives usually allow you to change the region a set number of times, so that shouldn't be a problem and there may be a firmware you can install to run it free of region codes. I'm also concerned because I have no way of testing it with a UK disc, so I felt it was best to see what other sellers have to offer, but if you can't find one elsewhere let me know and maybe we can work something out.
