Lisa,
I buy and sell some stuff on eBay. Most of the time when I am shopping for very
specific parts (e.g. Dell spares), which I do on occasion, I look for sellers
with a large number of sales and a near-100% record of positive feedback. I
also look for a good quality large photo, so I can see better what I am buying.
For example, I've bought replacement LCD screens and motherboards for laptops,
and gotten something that works well.
Once in a while, I get less than I paid for, but it is usually when I go hunting
for bargains. And, sometimes, a bargain buy works out well, when I get over
$100 of parts for maybe $10 because the seller does not quite know what he has
got... Ben

Installing a DVD burner in a Dell laptop can be problematic if it is not
manufactured for that specific model or model family, to be more accurate. What
you need to do is match up the front plasic bezel with the bezel on the drive in
your D600 right now.
It seems that nearly all the laptop manufacturers use proprietary plastic
bezels, which are designed to conform to the overall shape of the computer. Some
bezels are larger than others, either wider or higher.
The bottom line is that you are best off with a DVD burner made specifically for
the D600 and similar models. There are reputable sellers on eBay who sell Dell
parts for a lot less than Dell. That is your most likely choice for buying.
Searching around locally either via CL or by calling local computer repair
places is a needle in a haystack... Ben Myers

I would like to get a DVD burner for my laptop, but would prefer not
to get one from Dell. Anyone have a suggestion on a good branded slim
burner that would fit my notebook.
TIA, you guys have always been very helpful!
Best,

Thanks Ben,
Your advice, as always, is right on the money.
I'm alittle afraid of a bad ebay experience. Might you recommend one
or more ebay sellers that are reputable? You may reply directly to me
if you would prefer, and I'll post my experiences (hopefully good) on
this list for others as well.
Lisa
