It's possible, depending on the exact model number. Laptop optical drives are often customized to the model, so if Sony makes a bluray player for that laptop, it can be replaced.

Probably cost you $300+ however. Hopefully someone will be able to refer a parts supplier, I couldn't find one via a quick search.

I can't say definitely for your model, but usually laptop CD/DVD/Blu-ray drives are replaceable even if they're not meant to be user replaceable.

Your best option is to take it to a computer repair shop, they can open it up and have a look
(note opening laptops is a very fiddly procedure there is like a million screws and you need a precision screwdriver set to do it.).

If it is, you or the repair shop should be able to purchase a " laptop blu ray drive " from ebay or a computer parts seller. It doesn't matter what make, it's a standard fitting.

HTH
