The Laptop That Wanted To Be Entertained

My ThinkPad continues to spontaneously beg for a DVD and I discovered that with significant force from above or slight force on the side, the drive would pop open. I’ve made a diagram of it:

Fortunately, the Lenovo forums were quite helpful and I will call Lenovo to get a new drive soon.

I still haven’t received the warranty upgrade. Fortunately, I also haven’t been billed for it. This is beginning to be funny in a very odd way because so far, the GPS has held up quite well so I haven’t fretted much about the failure of Lenovo to collect their money.
