Something really weird happened

This is by far, the most bizarre thing I've ever seen happen to my computer. My DVD-ROM exploded. That's right, exploded. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing the cd inside got so hot that it cracked and, spinning at high speed, broke apart. Either way, it was a Pioneer DVD-115 tray-loaded 16x DVD-ROM drive, and I'm down $80. The spinning gyro for the cd broke off and won't fit back on again. Just thought it'd be interesting.
Anyway, I've had this drive for over a year and don't have the receit. Would Pioneer replace the drive? It did ruin my Starcraft: Brood War cd.
 
Heh, brood war......i remember the good ol' days....but seriously that sucks...i've noticed my CD's get really hot when i take them out of the drive...just started happening recently....i mean they've always been warm after watching a movie.. but this is noticiably warmer...
 
Oh and by the way, you don't have your PMs turned on, you don't have to, but it really makes communication around here alot easier for alot of things
 
If you didn't drop them a warranty card when you bought it, you may be out of luck. That is kind of an odd thing to happen...maybe the bearings died when it was moving at high RPM's.
