    Hi all, i have a dvd-rom which after a lot of testing appears to be dead. obviously i have it's caddy but am looking for a optical drive to fit in it. a cd-rom or dvd-rom - i don't mind which.

    I'm UK based but don't mind paying extra for shipping for the states if there are any available.

    Thanks
    Michael

    Michael,
    I'm sure I've got one, I'll look in the morning. Just a few bucks over shipping. Toughbook always has them for sale as well.

    The media bay caddy takes a generic laptop drive.

    I've used Matsua UJ-850 and UJ-851 'super-multi' DVD writers in mine, but any CD or DVD with the basic black flat front trim works fine.
