For sale is 4 laptop sleds and 3 standard sizes sleds. Some are cd writers and some are dvd readers. One of the laptop sleds is a dvd burner but has a strange looking diode, like 8 pins. nothing has been removed for them. I don't know what they are worth so make offer. :beer:
I'd say the motors and other parts from those older writers/burners would be worth more than the sleds. Those diodes are either IR and/or don't burn, so they're not much use for a laser hobbiest.
