It would probably just be cheaper to buy a new one as opposed to getting it repaired.
Do a search on removing cd drives, I'm sure you'll find diagrams and illustration online.

So I just buy a new CD-rom drive? What do they look like when they're sold seperalty from the rest of the junk?
It's just when I tell the rest of my family I'll get blamed for 'somehow' braking it

They look like this:

That's a great deal, a SONY DVD/CD player.
You just connect 1 wire and install the drivers and you're all set.
Many shops like Office Depot and Incredible Universe and BestBuy will even install it for you and update the drives for a small fee.
So all together it should cost you less than $100.
That aint so bad.
