This afternoon I was sitting with my youngest son at the computer while he was playing Reader Rabbit : ThinGast Adventures. He was bouncing along through an activity when we heard a popping noise and I felt something hit my leg.
We both sat there for a second trying to figure out what had happened and that is when I saw the front trim piece of the DVD drive hanging from the computer. The piece that hit me in the leg was one of the plastic clips that holds the trim piece in place and as soon as I saw what had hit me, I knew the CD was toast.
After unplugging the machine and a little disassembly, I had the drive out and removed most of the pieces from the explosion. I’ve already ordered a replacement drive from NewEgg.com (thanks for the recommendation Shawn).
Rather than try to explain something I never thought I would see, I’ll let the pictures finish the story:
