NEC ND-6750A in a Compaq Evo N620c Laptop?

The simple answer is yes, it is possible to fit a NEC ND-6750A DVD writer in a Compaq EVO N620c laptop. At least, I did.

Furthermore, I didn't have to mess around with Reverse ATA, flashing the firmware or anything else remotely scary like that. It just works! It isn't a perfect fit. The NEC has a smaller bezel than the original drive, bit since I usually use a second battery in the multibay slot and only occassionally put the DVD writer in, it's no big deal for me. Have a look at the photo's and make your own mind up.

After literally hours of research on the web, I couldn't find a definitive answer. So hopefully this helps someone.

It really is a Compaq! 

InfoTool reports it as expected. 

Here it is in all it's glory. See what I mean about the gaps, but it seems pretty easy to take the bezel off and attach the old one. Maybe I'll do this.
