Ok so I have a problem as you know from the title. I am using my friends IBM Thinkpad and the cd rom seems to be broken. There is a spring-loaded botton near the back lower corner that is poking out and because of this the computer is beeping (a group of three beeps and a pause then three more, then repeat..if that hepls) So is there a way to keep this in the "in" position? Do i need a new drive? I'm at a loss for this because I usually work with desktops. Thanks for your help, and suggestions would help. Well, other than taping it down, because that is the method currently being used. Thanks
