Ah BenQ's DVD drive is dead

Something is wrong with my BenQ Dvd drive. Not even one year old and i can hear weird noise coming from it. Not that i use it often also. Only to play the occasional VCD or install some softwares. They really dont last these days, huh. I'll have to send it back to the computer shop and claim warranty for the DVD drive later on. Moreover, gotta buy new computer memory for the spare pc lying idle in the guestroom now. Might as well put it to good use.
