DVD ROM Drawer Pulled Out

[Faz]

It's amazing how the price of DVD drives has fallen, you can pick any up for probably under £30 if that.

£30!? Where are you shopping!!

And there are even cheaper drives around.

But at that price. why bother?

The stock DVD drive in my desktop sounds like a hurricane filled with wasps and helicopters. If I actually used the drive even on a weekly basis I would consider a replacement but the thing sits sullen and unused

Perhaps it is moaning and groaning because it wants to play with its friends.

Can send you an ide dvdrw on the cheap if you want, £8.

Hi wayne was that an offer to me. Sorry hadnt seen it mate. Ended up buying a Sata dvdrw. Needed to make up the price to an order from a supplier so tagged it on there. Thanks for the offer though.

[Wrayman]

I assumed it was for UrKo as well, I don't have IDE on my mobo anyway so I can't take it off your hands either

[MagicEvie]

You mention buying a SATA DVDRW instead. Does this mean the old one is IDE?

If so, SATA would be more convenient. But check that you have a spare SATA port and power connector in the PC.

This £20 tops. Happy days!

Seems to be a lot of thread revival recently lol.. im guilty for one of those threads! haha

You can open it up and try to fix it yourself, or you can pick up a new sata one . Rom's aren't that expensive these days.

It would be fun to open and take a look if you could fix it. Maybe there's a plastic piece broken off the tray. I think that's possible.

Too much old thread bumping....

Closing for now.
