SH5 replacement
Ahoy shipmates, i was about to reinstall SH5 onto my PC tonight and the DVD drive has failed on me with the disc stuck inside.
I dont want to spend £25 purchasing the Steam version as they only do it in the bundle pack, is there anywhere else I can get a cheap digital download version, I still have my UPLAY account so that should be fine? I've seen adverts for some download keys but not the full game and the DVD i had is a legal version thats currently melting in my DVD drive |

There is usually a small hole on the face of a drive you can stick the end of a paperclip in to open the drive without power.

Failing that, I'd take it out and take it apart. I'm pretty sure internal drives can be disassembled, and external ones are plastic, so can probably be broken apart. Or pry the door open with a screwdriver.
