Having a trouble with my DVD-ROM - IBM ThinkPad T42 (by 5 users)

posted by H-Power on Sep 13, 2007

Hi,

My DVD ROM-IBM ThinkPad T42 could not read DVD disks, but it can read CD disk smoothly.

Could you help me to repair it (DVD-ROM)?

I had tried some steps to know what happened with my DVD-ROM.

_When i used a other DVD-ROM the same myself, my Laptop read DVD-disk easily. So i have thought my DVD-ROM had a trouble.

Best regards,

My dvd-rom drive will not read anything. Unfortunately I found out after I purchased Microsoft Office 2007 to load on my daughter's lap top.

Internal the pickup assy. (the laser) there are three components that read the discs, one for DVD one for CD and one for the DVD-ROM its likely that the DVD-ROM laser has gone out.

Take the drive out and get the part number and look it up online on ebay or the like :-)
