where to buy e1405 dvd-rw drive? need to replace

Question

i have an inspiron e1405 and it has a dvd-rom/cd-rw drive. i want to change it to a dvd-rw drive. but the dell website doesn't seem to sell a replacement part for the e1405 optical drive.   do you think the one for the e1505 would fit or would work?   if not, do you know where i could purchase the dvd-rw drive?   thanks!

Yes, the Inspiron 640m and 6400 use a common DVD+/-RW drive.  Order P/N UC823, WC449, YC640, or YW979.

If you don't want to pay Dell's price, check out Newegg.   http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827152073   Look at the reviews, lots of Dell users replacing their drives with this one.   Dave
