I have a Acer Aspire 5315 laptop, this Sunday morning I pulled out the DVD that had been in the 'burner' when, with a crack, the centre spindle assembly fell apart. Black bits of plastic and tiny springs fell everywhere. It was the portable, laptop type that locks the DVD or CD into place. I have never been confident about the strength and ability of this spindle but they seem to be used in most laptops.
Has this happened to anybody else?
To fix this do I have to replace the whole burner assembly or is it possible to replace just the black plastic bit?
