Hello everyone,

I am just wondering how much I could get for the Ultrabay 2000 DVD-ROM (FRU 08K9646 HL-DT-ST GDR8081N). I just happen to have a spare one that came with a PDB 2000 (and I have one in my A31p).
The drive is working fine. I also know that it can be made region-free.

Thanks,
Val
P.S. There is no sleeve with it.

Well this is from ThinkPad-Parts.com...

"ThinkPad 08K9646 A T R - 8X DVD-LW Information
Manufacturer Part Number
08K9646
Model of the unit
A-T-R

ThinkPad-Parts.com item price
$40.00
ThinkPad-Parts.com item warranty
08K9646 comes with a 30 day warranty / return period."

So don't look for much. I've seen them on ebay for even less.

I've seen them on Ebay for $10-$15 plus $9.95 shipping. Without the sleeve, probably a little less.

Good luck,
Ron

Two questions:

1) What is the manufacturer and model of the drive mechanism? (I'm somewhat in the market for a Ultrabay DVD based on a Toshiba drive. (Mainly for the bezel))

2) What to you mean by the "sleeve"?

Thanks...

$20 to $25 delivered seems about market.

The sleeve is a nylon case with an IBM logo that can be used to store the drive when not inserted in a laptop. When optical drives are purchased as options, they generally include one. A nice IBM touch.
