About a couple of weeks ago, my girlfriend dropped her laptop and it seems that the internal DVD-ROM doesn't work anymore.

To open it, I have to pry the drive out, which usually means the spring mechanism is broken.

I am now considering getting a replacement DVD-ROM, but am unsure of where I can find these as they're not exactly generic factory parts.

Model: IBM ThinkPad T30

Could someone please help me find a supplier/vendor that can replace and repair this particular model with a variety of options  to replace the drive with (either a CD/DVD Combo, or CD/DVD Burner)

It would be much appreciated :)
