It was fine, but it just fell apart

Okay, does anybody out there with some hardware skill want to earn a quick buck doing a house call?
My CD burning drive is all wonky--I can put a CD in there and it will spin and the light will flash green, and then flash orange. (Actually, I just tested this and currently it doesn't spin but the lights still come on.) And my computer can't find the drive. I was going to get in there and take the box apart and find out if maybe it was just a loose wire but I'm never going to do that. So what I'm going to do is ask somebody to come over and do some onsite tekwork--if the drive needs to be replaced, perhaps going to Frye's for a shopping trip and then helping me get the new drive installed. (Depending on prices, probably a DVD burning drive.)
The secondary drive is behaving oddly, but only when interacting with iTunes. Which, of course, is mostly what I ask it to do.
Let me know your hourly rates, and your availability.

Ron can help out Thursday, and won't take your money unless he has to deal with insane hardware issues ;-)

Yay! Will you still be over Wednesday night?
And warn Ron that there's about 24 inches of clearance between desk and bed.

I'll warn him. Though he may insist on moving the computer or something.

Wed should work.
