Pavilion dv7-6b78us/Blu-Ray Question

[NateD]

Does my pavilion dv7-6b78us have a blu-ray player?

Hi,

Based on its specs, it says: Multimedia Drive SuperMulti DVD burner which means no BD player.

Regards.

Thanks for your answer. Do you know if it is possible to replace the existing drive with a blu-ray capable one? If so, where might I obtain one?

That model was sold with a BR player as an option, so it would be the most compatible and fit and match your model.

HP part number 666393-001  Blu-Ray disc R/RW FX SuperMulti drive (can burn blu-ray discs)

HP part number 666394-001 Blue-Ray Disc ROM FX SuperMulti drive  (reads but cannot burn blue-ray discs)

You can buy direct from HP parts or google the part numbers and look for them on eBay or elsewhere. I would not buy one "Used"

666393-001 is $183 from HP in the USA, 666394-001 is $136

Thanks for your quick reply. Hopefully it won't be a difficult replacement for me to do.

Hi,

In my situation, I would not upgrade the laptop. I go out to buy a BD player, much cheaper and definitely plays better on my TV.
