I don't know if this is the right place to put this thread, anyways, When i open my disk drive it suddenly gets jammed and will not open until I slam my hand on the computer itself Is there something i should buy to get it unjammed or something?

There is a little hole in the front to the side of the drawer. Carefully insert a paper clip to pop the drawer open.

The door motor gets week and dust accumulates in the track. They're not worth trying to fix. I would start looking for a replacement DVD drive. A Sony or Lite-On drive can be had for under $20. I've always relied on Sony but both are pretty good drives. You don't have the Model Number in your system specs so we don't know if it's IDE or SATA.

Banging on your computer won't fix anything. You can damage components or loosen cards. Replace the drive and enjoy. :)

Well, there you go. I've never had a problem with Sonys. :)

Or maybe I've never owned one long enough to have a problem. :geek:

For the price of dvd drives, it'd cost more in time to fix than to just buy a new one and have an updated drive on top of it...
