The busted one I took out says M/S, the new-used one is CSEL.

I got this thing free basically and all I want to do is get it running so I can purchase some OBD2 and Audi VAG-COM dongles and software. I did notice that none of the USB ports are responding, but again the OS got all screwed up by the last guy. sloddave if you have a working drive you can let go for a reasonable price or fix these laptops on the side, can you send me a PM?

Thanks- BG

(and thanks RickM for the other approach, its probably worth a shot)

Laptop motherboards are difficult to repair. The only thing I usually fix is the power jack. I looked for that drive and we do not have that exact one lying around. I'd be happy to give it a shot, but don't expect miracles.
