2. Replace it
3. Ignore it and get an external DVD
3 is the easiest and the fastest (cost in time, relative to 2), because you
don't have to open up your lappy, and you don't have to figure out which model
of internal drive is compatible with your lappy, and possibly wait while it is
ordered. Couldn't say which (between 2 and 3) would cost more dollar wise.
But, with 2, you don't have to carry around, and find desk space for, another
device and cable.
The other consideration regarding option 2 vs 3 is how often does the laptop
get carried to other places? That will tell you how much of pain it might be
to have an external DVD drive. If you do a lot of travelling with the laptop
you may be looking at option 2 as your best bet but it might be difficult to
source a replacement drive and take the laptop apart to replace the drive.
