Today, I googled for an hour how to open my CD player on my laptop. Turns out, there is none. They just put a space there to make it look like a CD player. FML

Today, at work, I put my earphones in to listen to some music. An hour later, I realised I never pressed play. FML

Today, I bought a CD off a man who always plays Spanish guitar in the subway. When I got to work and tried playing the CD, it was blank. I paid $15 for a blank CD. FML

Hangry DVD

Today, I found out that my old DVD player had stopped reading my DVDs. I had the dumb idea to stick my finger in there to see what the problem was. I found the problem, which was that my fingernail wasn't on my finger after doing that. FML

Today, I was tempted into clicking a shady link with the promise of free MP3s of De La Soul’s first four albums, with all the original samples. Long story short, I had to do a system restore on my laptop. Now it won’t play audio files for some inexplicable reason. FML

Today, I made my mom a mix CD for her car. It took me ages to find just the right songs that would be perfect for her. When I played it for her in the car, she took it out and threw it out of the window. FML

Today, my kids found out how to control my Google alarm clock with their phones. While I was gone, they set it to play screamo metal at max volume, then paused it. Sometime after midnight, as I was sleeping, they pressed play. FML

Today, the speakers on my laptop weren't working. I worried I'd broken something, and started freaking out. I restarted my computer numerous times and played with the settings for an hour before calling my sister in to help. She looked at it for two seconds, then unplugged my headphones. FML

Today, I got a new CD player for my car and an alarm installed for added security. After work, I saw my windows smashed, the CD player gone, the alarm wires cut, and a note that said, "Try again." FML

Today, my young stepdaughter decided that she should store her coins in my laptop's card reader slot and in the CD drive. I just bought the laptop last week. FML

Sometimes that space can be removed and you can put a real CD player in. Maybe that is the case?

It doesn't look like one, it's a place for one to go. Google what kind of cd player would fit on it, buy it, and get a tech savvy relative to install it.

Here's how you solve the problem... 1. Buy a new laptop with CD player (this time check properly) 2. Buy a maintenance toolkit. Make sure it contains a Philips screwdriver. 3. Check YouTube for how to uninstall CD-ROM 4. Uninstall CD player from your new laptop. 5. Using reverse steps, install it on your old laptop. Now you have your laptop with a CD player. problem solved in 5 easy steps!

1. Go to the store and buy an external cd/dvd port that connects via USB. 2. Plug it in

Most likely you can buy a DVD-ROM and install it fairly easy and for under $30. Newegg. Com Just look up a video on how remove the cover plate and how to install the drive. Should take 20min max.
