Repairing a Laptop CD-ROM

Are the laptop dvdroms as easily available/replaced as desktop dvdroms by any computer repair shop or should one take it to the company service centre?

Since notebook computers come in a range of different sizes and weights, so i was wondering if every model and/or company would be having its own unique cdroms?

Alright, Thanks. Any idea approximately how much would a new one cost?

Re: Repairing a Laptop CD-ROM

depends where you live…in pakistan they cost around 4-5k Rs… you can check the prices on online stores of your country…

Yeah i am in Lahore. I am thinking of leaving the dvd rom as it is and do guzara without it. Most of the stuff these days is available on web anyway :stuck_out_tongue:

For laptops and internal CD roms its not cheap to get them replaced. For PC’s you can pick one up for under $10 on Ebay.
The most cost effective option is to get an external DVD drive and attach it to the USB when you need it.
