My LG GSA-E60N external DVD rewriter is broken, PC world said it is repairable by taking the case off and replacing the drive instide with an LG GH22 DVD rewriter, so Ive bought one but Im not sure if it will work. Is it ok to put the internal GH22 which is SATA inside my external GSA E60N? And how do I do it?
First, open the external casing.
You'll find an "internal" CD/DVD drive, connected to an adapter, and the adapter connects to the USB cable.
Now, look at the adapter -- it could be a "parallel-ATA" interface, or it could be a "SATA" interface. The new CD/DVD drive will have to have the same connectors (data and power) as the adapter.
You might have to exchange the SATA device for a Parallel-ATA device.
If you have a parallel-ATA CD/DVD drive, look at the back of it.
There is a tiny jumper, and a few labelled settings:
* MA(ster)
* SL(ave)
* C(able)S(elect)
Move the jumper to the 'MA' setting, so that the USB-adapter will recognize the CD/DVD drive.
Connect the drive to the adapter.
Close the case.
You're good to go!
