Upgrade G751JT DVD to BlueRay?

[Ausaar]

Hello all,

I am happy to own a new ROG G751JT-DB73. After a few hiccups and an upgrade to windows 10, this thing is awesome.
I would like to replace the DVD player with a BlueRay player instead.
To keep it all compact and portable, I don't want an external drive. Is there a recommended Asus player I can use, or any generic drive will do. I recall a post mentioning the drive is connected with a standard interface, so swapping should be ok?
Is this correct?

Thanks in advance,
John

My JT Shipped with Blue Ray Player. since its the same model its possible to upgrade but I am not sure how to.
I don't use one any way cause I don't buy blueray CDS.

take out your old drive and buy the same BD drive with the same measurements.
one screw removes the DVD drive

I appreciate your help and input. I wonder if changing the drive will void the warranty.
Thanks again,
