Yes, it's because of the minor bump. There are no marks from the jolt that caused it, I could have just said it's not working but I am a pretty straight forward kind of person. And the price they want, $430, is way outrageous for a CD-ROM, considering I can replace it with a CD-RW for less than $200 thru a third party. I'll try climbing up the ladder. Thanks. Eric
