A little round plastic piece which holds the CD in place has broken in my CD-RW Drive. Is replacement possible or do I have to buy a whole new CD-RW drive?

Thanks for any help.

If its just partially broken i guess you can continue to use it, otherwise get it repaired. But keep in mind a repaired thing is prone to more problems, so better geta new one

i guess just like the monitor you have to buy a new one.

Where is the little round plastic piece located?

I mean is it the one the pops up underneath the CD when the drive is being used? Because if it is I'd assume that it is probably replacable.
