The optical drive of my pavillion all in one 27-a230na was karate chopped in half like a wood board in front of the karate kid. The plastic molding was damaged and the drive is off the rail. It is an easy replacement but I need the part. Does anyone know where replacement optical drives can be found that would fit this unit? I tried the virtual support agent already and they suggested here.
Thanks!

Hi:
Below is the parts list for your PC.
http://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?searchText=1AV66EA
The part number for the drive is 853885-800, but they don't come with the white bezel, which I assume from your post, is broken as well.
So...that is when I recommend you look on eBay, and there happens to be one for sale with the white bezel included...

Hey Paul,
The bezel appears fine. At least on the outside there is no damage. All damage I can see is with the tray the laser sits on. Thank you for the link. If HP will sell me a replacement drive that fits I think I will be ok.
Thank you.

You're very welcome.
HP does not sell the part anymore.
I think your only option will be to buy used but tested and working on eBay.
