Can I use any spare or does it have to be a certain model or certain spec? Notebook is aspire 5310, odd part # is optiarc AD-7560A

1215035 2011-07-05 06:35:00 I stand to be corrected, but if you do need a specific one look at TM maybe or maybe easier on eBay. Nomad (952)
1215036 2011-07-05 06:46:00 They generally do use standard connections, even if the manufacturer uses a proprietary adapter. pcuser42 (130)
1215037 2011-07-05 07:03:00 what about the size and shape, and the bezel shape?

Size and shape are standard, the bezel is where you'll have problems (depending on manufacturer). :p
