These types of drives are NOT supported for spare parts. The cost of
handling the parts for supplier and the manufacture, would exceed the value of them. Most people would have to send out this type of item. The cost of the postage, and labour would far exceed the price of a new drive. Even the more expensive DVD drives are not supported for servicing. At the factory when these are manufactured, the defective units are disposed of. It does not even pay to have the added cost for them to retrieve back any parts from them during process.

$50 ? Today's Frys ad once again has a 52x drive for $19.99. The one I
bought for my brother and mine both work just fine. Isn't that less than a month of internet access? GG |
