CD/DVD drive - swap for USB hub?

    Hi Guys,

    My cousin has a Toshiba laptop and her house is pretty chaotic with the baby and young kids and between them they have managed to break all the USB ports in the laptop, and a USB memory and Vodafone stick also.

    I am pretty sure that the USB are onto the motherboard which makes it practically unfixable without replacing the motherboard and on a €300 laptop there is almost no point.

    The laptop dosen't have a PCI slot so it now has no USB slots or internet connectivity as they are Vodafone mobile dependent. I was wondering is it possible to buy a module where I could replace the CD/DVD drive with a USB hub or even better replace the CD drive with a cd drive and usb on it?
