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?
