Quote:If you'd prefer to have it fixed . . . if you're prepared to send it to me I'll replace the drive for cost of a replacement DVD-RW-DL or a cheaper CDRW/DVD-ROM drive and you can pay me for just that and the cost of a courier to/from my address in UK?
Send me P.M. if you're interested in this alternative?
