[quote:czygyny:MV8xMTI0MzY4XzE4MDAyMzYwXzFCMDFGMzQ=] [quote:thinK.] touch your pc case before touching anything inside. there arent many cables to connect.. ide ribbon, power plug, maybe a few others depending on your motherboard.. and possibly a jumper. It is stupidly easy. [b]And please tell me you bought a dvd-burner and not a cd-burner.[/b] [/quote] Yeah, yeah, a [b]DVD[/b] burner, sorry for the archaic terminology. When I first began working on computers there was no such thing as a CD/DVD burner...it was just floppy disks. [quote:Hawk0] Dude, just buy a new one and throw it in there. Aint that hard. [/quote] Hey Hawk0, ya' know the first time someone does something it can be quite intimidating. So, tell me, how many times have [i]you[/i] washed up your hands and arms and gone inside a ewe to untangle a set of twin lambs that all want to come out at once, or rearranging the legs and bring the head of an unborn calf around straight so it can be born? Have you ever replaced a burst 2" PVC water main at night in a torrential rainstorm? What type of glue do you use, and should you use a compression or expansion fitting to bridge the gap? Ain't that hard. Once you know what you are doing. [i] (pss-s-t, that's 'dudette', BTW)[/i] [/quote]
Original Message
OK, I buy a whole stack of blank CDs to burn and the very first disc, my burner decides to finally give up the ghost.
I had been having to use a wire in the little hole to get the tray to open for a while and it just finally quit seeing the discs altogether.
I've ordered another burner and will attempt to install it myself as I am handy about fixing things, but it will be my first time inside the guts of my computer.
Anything special I need to consider?
