● Question: What to do with old 48x CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM drive at end of life?

Imagine it's dead (which it isn't just keep making slipped disc noises)

It's quite heavy like literally A BRICK to use the mobile phrase but this has the dimension of real ■brick■ too !

Not sure if I'd even want to attempt fix
...could be belt drive and anyway sometimes newer is best for these things right? (Not to end with scratched discs? laser gives after a while? )
