Greetings!

Quick question for some knowledgeable person out there. My girlfriend's CD/DVD combo drive needs replacing on her A100 Toshiba laptop. I opened up the case and determined the Model # on the part to be UJ850. She is curious how much it would cost to buy the part and I would install it for her. Now, how do i find out which replacements part are compatible with this laptop, or can i only use UJ850? Any help appreciated, thank you.

Dave
