Notebook HP ENVY 17-ce0000 remove DVD drive

[krzysztof515]

Hello,

I have a question about notebook HP ENVY 17-ce0000. Is it possible to remove DVD drive without dismounting case (I don't want to lose warranty).

I need to remove DVD drive, because I want to plug in SSD drive (in CD-DVD adapter) with Ubuntu on-board.

Thanks for help.

Sorry NO, you have to remove the bottom case to be able to access to a screw which keeps the ODD (aka CD/DVD drive) to machine.

I can't get its full specs, only

(Not much information such as CPU, Storage, RAM ..... I don't know why they put up a specs like that).

Your machine must be something like HP ENVY 17-ce0nnnaa (where nnn = 3 digits and aa = aa to zz). You should be able to find out using

But the series supports DUAL storage you don't need to use SSD (what ?) on ODD slot. For storage, what does it have now ?

Regards.

Kindly thanks for your support. My model is exactly: 17M-CE0013.

I need to swap this external drive to another machines, so this solution is most convenient for me. Also I can use usb connection, but ttansfer is slower and those cables and storage case is anoying when I'am working in bed.

I'am wondering if I try to remove case, will I lose warranty.
