cdrw drive question

[*lee*]

basically are computer is crap, both the disc drives are buggered and dont work, all i need them for is burning cd's, is there a easier and cheaper solution than getting it fixed i.e an external cdrw drive?

 

[mark_s]

does it have to be external? you could get one of these, £19 be cheaper than getting yours fixed, they are not too hard to switch around

just buy a new one, should get yourself a dvdrw. (they burn cd's too) but for the same price youd be crazy just to get a cdrw.

and its simply a case of taking your case off, unscrewing the 2 screws that hold the drive in, unplug the 4 pin plug, unplug the thin IDE cable.

look on the back of your cdrw and see what the jumper is set to (master/slave/cs-cable select) and put the jumper on your new dvdrw the same way. plug in the ide cable, plug in the 4 pin, screw it back in, done.
