I bought this laptop knowing that it came a bit bare but figured like most laptops it has upgradability. I cracked it open to even confirm this and I can tell it does since it has a 7+6 pin SATA ODD connector as well as a spot for an 2.5" SSD except that the SSD board is missing the 7+15 pin SATA connector. I found these parts online that visually matched, and wondered that if I whack them in will I get DVD drive and 2.5" SSD drive capabilities?

I received every part besides the bottom enclosure. They worked after some trial and error. For anyone reading in the future, once you have installed a 2.5 inch drive and put your laptop back together, you have to make sure to reset BIOS and CMOS otherwise your laptop won't turn on. Once you have done that, your driveless laptop will now have a drive and will work perfectly! 😁
