Just replace.
I Wish I could do that!! But only recently a thunderstorm wiped out my Mobo and Graphics card.....Motherboard waranty did not cover lightning so I had to fork out Rs.5k for a new one...but thankfully the GFX card was replaced!!!! So my parents will kill me if they find out the DVD drive died......I doubt they'll give me any money to buy a new one anytime soon!!!

I had TS00 before. I flashed it to TS02 hoping that it would make the drive read something again....guess not!

So , should i flash it back to TS00?
