    Hi all,

    First question: Has anyone changed the video card in one of these? I thought I came across a thread about it a few days ago, but now I can't find it.

    Question number two: Are any of the 15" screens with different resolutions interchangeable without any furthur modification other than changing the screen out?

    bonus question: Anyone know if I can swap the HP blueray dvd drive e stock dvd drive? They are selling for around $80.

    Depends on which generation. The DV2/6/9 series was IDE (I have a Blu Ray pulled from a DV9740US), not SATA. Their P45 series may be using SATA though.
