HP EliteBook 8560w CD/DVD ROM Replacement

Introduction

This guide will help you replace the CD/DVD ROM in a HP EliteBook 8560w.

Keep in mind that the computer’s battery needs to be removed and the power adapter must be disconnected before you begin. We’ll show you how to do that in this guide as well.

Usually, a computer’s CD/DVD ROM needs to be replaced when you insert a CD or a DVD and it doesn’t play. However, check out our troubleshooting page to see if your problem falls into a different category.

Please follow instructions as they appear.
