any with ibm laptops?

hello, i have an ibm x22, basically i have two questions:

1. is it possible to replace the "clickers" of the "mouse". my left one isn't as firm as i'd like it due to a lot of use.

2. since it uses a docking station, i bought a dvd-rom drive for it. i just can't find software/drivers for it. it will load cd's but won't play dvd's.

thanks.

1) no idea? if u can i'd imagine it'd be far more expensive that what its worth.
2) the manufacturer and model number should be printed on it.. go to the manufacturers site and head towards download drivers / support.

1. i dunno, some brands of laptops sell replacements. i don't think ibm does though.
2. i think i found the problem. regular cd's work in it, its just not dvds. i think i need a program like windvd. im going to try it soon.
