    As many of you noticed once you got your shiny new laptop from HP the dv7tqe blu-ray/dvd drive is flimsy and does not seem to be held down tightly like it is on the dv6tqe, at first I said fine I don't care its not a big issue but last night I put in a dvd to install some drivers for an xbox 360 wireless receiver. The disc tray seemed like it was bouncing while the dvd was being played and it was unbareable, the noise and vibration stops if I put pressure to hold up the tray but immediately starts when I don't apply pressure.

    I shouldn't have to do that on a $1000 plus laptop

    Any suggestions on what you guys have done to fix this problem?
