Laptop cd-rom replacement
Karen has a laptop with a bad cd-rom. How do you go about buying a new one? Are they standard or have to be ordered for that brand? Its for Dell. Looks like a screw and latch on bottom, and it will slide out??

Not sure how that would work. You could probably purchase a external one if replacing internal is to expensive.

Certain Dell laptops had the ability to swap tha tdrive for a floppy, extra battery, or a DVD drive. They are of course Dell specific and not terribly inexpensive relative to the price of the laptop. If you do decide to swap it out, I would look for a DVD drive/burner and the corresponding drivers rather than a CD drive.

As others mentioned, those internal Dell (and other laptop makers) drives are proprietary and might cost a small fortune to replace. I'd look for a refurbished one on eBay or just buy an external USB model if she uses it in desktop mode more than portable.

The portable is not a bad idea. Atleast you can load software on it.

Make sure it's plugged in before you take a screwdriver to it.
