    hey, lately, when I insert a DVD / write one, when the Drive READ/WRITES heavily the DVDDrive begins to make noise&shaking, like something is loose in the drive or something.

    If I hold a finger against the drive, it stops shaking and it makes normal noise again...

    Anyone else have that Problem? -- What can I do about it?

    Drive is a TSSTcorp TS-L-632D

    I've had two Dell machines, both the Sony drives, and I had the same problems. Ask them to specifically send a brand other than Sony. That might help.
