In need of some broken DVD-R drives !

J4D

Hello geeks, im in need of some broken DVD Writers. Laptop drives and normal PC Drives will do as long as they are also DVD writers :) They will be donated to the good cause of making a burning laser :P
I can come and harvest the drives from your door step ! Thanks in advance !
Oh and if you think that you might have any other broken hardware that you want to get rid off and think that their internal parts would do me good, i would love to have them ! :)

MrClass

my man! I have an old 17" CRT monitor that I would love to donate in the name of science. The monitor works, so I am sure the inner components are working as well. Whenever you want it, I is ready :)

MAKE AN ELECTRO-SHOCK GUN! MUHAHAHAHA, kidding :p

J4D

I would love to take it :D , but the question is, "wen badde id7asha" :P ? Ill contact you soon :) Thank you .

Still waiting for someone with a broken DVD-writer drive :D

I have an old CD Drive that still works I guess, would you take it?

J4D

Aymanov, nah the internal laser diode is not powerful enough :)

and ohh, a bluray writer will work superbly as well !

I won't be donating any blurray writer for that purpose...
Imagine 10 years later, 2 old men from CIA knocking on my door and asking about that DVD wirter i donated to you and saying:

"Dear sir, we have received a message from a far away galaxy nagging about a laser beam created by a highly advanced machine - which we think it was a DVD writer and modified by a friend of yours. We also knew that YOU donated this DVD writer to this scientist for what he claimed, 'a good cause'

One of them finishes by saying:
Dear sir, i have to inform you that you are under arrest for helping a human to create a machine that threatened our galactic security"

Well, i guess my answer is NO ! i won't take that risk Jad. Apologies.

J4D

LOL Georges ! don't worry i will only contact good aliens :P

Not sure I have a dead DVD-R but I have lots of the rest. Even decade old CD writers :)

MrClass

Oh btw, now that I remembered, I have an IBM DVD-Rom if you want it. It died 2 Months ago (after 15+ years of service). That Good 'Ole drive. RIP :(

What about laptop drives? my bro's laptop's drive is kindof dead / totally unreliable... would it work?? i'd love to make it into a lighter though hahahaha

MrClass

Can a drive laser be transformed into a really hot cutting laser? That would be interesting :)

J4D

Thanks alot guys ! :)

Eurybaric, yes they will work perfectly :)
Rolf, can i have some ? :P
Mr.class, i will take both the screen and the DVD :P i can vision some lethal stuff already :P

MrClass

OR, you can combine the monitor and dvd-rom and get urself a good microwave :p

MrClass

Lol. Cool. But please be careful, CRT monitors are very dangerous. Their capacitors hold a deadly pack of electricity.

eurybaric

Ok i have good news for you dude! A friend of mine apparently has a bunch of old DVD drives he wants to get rid of!!!! I'll post as soon as i get my hands on them! prolly tomorrow or the day after..

J4D

Wohoooo :D

rolf

J4D wroteRolf, can i have some ? :P

Of course :-) They take up space, yet I do not have the heart to throw them away.
I also have a couple of defective hard drives, if you ever need some precision 5000+ RPM motors.

MrClass

I think you could build a robot out of this hardware :)

J4D

Hard drives are also great ! Rolf i will contact you soon :) same for MrClass :)

Mrclass, i can make some additives for the robots with them :) i primarily want the lasers for now :) and will leave the motors, gears etc for later projects :)

MrClass

hey J4D. I think you know mesa177. She is my sister, so if you wanna come to to take the stuff, you're more than welcome anytime bro :)
You can coordinate with her to take the parts if I wasn't home or was busy with something
