My dvd drive on my Packard Bell Easynote R1928 is broken and i need to replace it. It isnt under warranty and the drive is expensive. Anyone know if any other drives are compatible that could be cheaper? Thanks

If your product is only 3 months old it will be under warranty. All Packard Bell computers have a 1 year warranty.
Are you sure of the product number? Can't find any info about it on the Packard Bell website, but there is a R1938.
The R1938 has a NEC ND-6750 DVD drive. Search on google for "NEC ND-6750" and you'll find a few places selling it for just over £40.

Packard Bell is no longer a company, Your laptop is quite outdated, you could shop around for a replacement drive at many sites, you would probably be better off getting an external drive. And the best thing to do is to start looking for a new laptop and also where to donate your current one.
