CD-ROM or DVD-ROM for laptop?

[CLiu]

The CD-ROM drive on my laptop is broken. I need to find a replacement. Where should I buy? Are the CD-ROM drives standardized so the manufacturer I buy from does not matter? I bought the laptop from outside of US, so it's hard to get support from the company.

Thanks for the help,

If the laptop has USB ports, just get any USB CD- or DVD-ROM drive.
