Product: HP Notebook - 15-ay081nr (Touch) (ENERGY STAR)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Trying to replace or upgrade my existing HP Notebook (15-ay081nr) internal DVDRW drive as it is falling apart and I am looking for help to find compatible replacement drives.  Nothing turns up on HP store (except external drive) and HP manuals for my model of notebook on support site keep turning up as "page not found." Other general internet searches are a little confusing as to whether the model and specs of the drive ( GUD1N) is the same across notebooks or varies depending on actual model of notebook.  Is this drive an old drive and no longer available?   Is there a newer version with same size (maybe also has blueray combo) etc. that I can order and install that will still work with this older notebook?  Thank you for your time and support.

Hi:

 

Below is the link to the parts list for your notebook.

 

HP PartSurfer

 

You need this DVD drive part number:

 

858505-001
DVD+/-RW Double-Layer SuperMulti optical drive - 9.5mm form factor - Includes bracket and bezel

 

The easiest thing to do would be to go on eBay and find a used but tested and working DVD drive.

 

Search by the HP part number.

 

858505-001 for sale | eBay

 

According to chapter 3, page 40 of the service manual I gave you on your other post, it shows that no Blu-Ray drives were offered in the model series.

Paul_Tikkanen- Thank you for the reply.  I must have missed the drive listing on the parts store when I looked at it earlier.   Appreciate the assist and the manual in the other post.
