• plug the dvd-rom into the machine. Remember both the power and the ribbon cable.
• boot the computer (the computer will automatically login you into a GUI)
• put some kind of dvd in to the dvd drive (after it starts up).
• Play a movie using VLC. play the movie for a while.
  • make sure you can hear sound, and that the movie isn't jittery.
• make a label for the DVD player. (It should say "dvd player OK")

if you have a combo drive like a dvd + CD R/RW Please perform those tests.

• turn off the computer, Remove the Drive, Place the Sticker(s) on the drive and put it in the outgoing box.
