Won't read any cd (by 3 users)
posted by wengi on Oct 10, 2007
it's built in to my asus laptop. my wife played an old vcd on it then it suddenly wont read any CDs; not even DVDs. it happened before. i had some problems with the battery so i didnt use it for almost a month the it worked again. that was 3 years ago and i ddnt have any problems with it till now. I tried cleaning it, disabled and re-enabled it, but to no avail. cant afford to replace it. what should i do?

my friend has a similar problem with a toshiba dvd rom sd-r2312 on his HP xe4430US laptop that wont read bootable or any cds, but will read DVDs from within the OS with the Interactual DVD software! It makes a clunk sound for a few seconds before it seems able to read the boot sector. Think its a hardwar fault.

WizIF YOU CAN GET AN OLD ONE I CANT TALK YOU THROUGH REPAIRING IT YOUR SELF
TAKE THE DRIVE OUT YOUR LAPTOP
TRY CLENING IT WITH A COTTEN SWAB AND RUBBING ALCOHOL, CLEAN THE LEANS AND ALL THE CONNECTORS
IF THAT DONT WORK THEN YOU CAN GET AND OLD DRIVE THAT WE CAN GET SPARE PARTS FROM
IF YOU CANT THEN TRY RUBBING A SMALL AMT OF TURTLE WAX ON THE LENS AND POLISH IT OFF
IT WORKED A FEW TIMES FOR ME BEFORE
6 out of 9
IF U CAN GET A CHEAP DRIVE TO BUY YOU CAN REPLACE IT YOUR SELF
