New dvd drive

guinnessdrinker · 2007-04-30 20:36:05

Hi guys, I recently broke my dvd drive on my hp lapton and i was qouted 385euro by Compupac (where i purchased it) to get a new one. Im no expert but this seems very expensive, i thought it would have cost about 50euro. Am I wrong in thinking that?

Robbery. The drive will cost around 60euro and fit it yourself for nothing. It's simple to do and doesn't involve opening up the machine. 5 minute job for a tech, 10 minutes for an amatuer.
This one would do (if it was in stock):
