Ohh dear, help with PC

[lew!]

Ive taken the side off now etc, its just the cd drive is stuck open that i need to fix.
Its as if it already thinks its shut about half way? Like u no wen it makes that noise when it shuts, (like a mechanism inside that clicks) it does that at halfway and then it doesnt go in any more, I forced it in earlier and it started working fine, but as soon as i put a disc in, i think its the disk that gets stuck now on something in the middle.

I may have to buy a new drive, dvd one pref.
Also, Anybody got any guides on how to remove a dvd drive thing from pc?

I did tell you this a number of posts ago.

Turn off the power, remove the power lead, remove the panel, disconnect power and mobo connection from drive, unscrew the drive from the surrounding metal casing, pull out from the front of the case.

I did unscrew it all, I cant get the metal plate off either, i unscrewed that..
The floppy drive comes out, but the cd and dvd drives wont come out.

[DarrenToogood]

I suggest you take it to a shop, as you clearly have no secure idea of what needs to be done.

Actually some cases are difficult, like on my old HP and on my newer CM-690 I have to pull the front of the case off to be able to slide them out.

And if the PSU fell down like you said, its probably damaged the motherboard...

It didnt fall down, But it did hit the side (the plastic case) and i made sure i didnt put it upside down so it fell down. So i left it, unscrewed it and i just screwed it back. Im certain it didnt hit anything.

I think im just gonna get a new pc. lol

[DarrenToogood]

Thats a bit drastic...what arwe your current specs?

[lew!]

Seriously... 60GB Memory :S *** you on about.

If you are going to buy a new PC, do not build your own and ask for advice on these forums.
