    Do you think something is stuck in it?.....Try opening the PC up and checking,if it is busted then i would get a new one........It depends on what she does on the PC, like does she watch movie's on it or burn things? Tigerdirect.com is a good site for people that live in the US they have great offers

    OK, If she wants to save stuff on like a disk you want to get a CD_Burner it is the same thing as a CD-rom but a CD-rom only reads, a CD-burner Reads and writes
