DVD drives

An external monitor or projector is not
working
If your notebook is connected to a port
replicator, make sure the external monitor or
projector is connected to the monitor port on
the port replicator and not on the notebook. The
notebook's monitor port may be disabled when
connected to a port replicator.
Your notebook does not recognize a disc
The disc may not be seated correctly in the
■
tray. When you place a disc on the tray,
make sure that you press the disc firmly
onto the spindle so the retainers hold the
disc in place.
If your notebook has a modular drive, it
■
may not be inserted completely into the
modular bay. Press the module into the
bay, then try to access the disc again.
Make sure that the disc label is facing up,
■
then try again.
If you are trying to play a DVD, make sure
■
that you have a DVD drive. See "Identifying
drive types" in your hardware guide.
Try a different disc. Occasionally discs are
■
flawed and cannot be read by the drive.
Some music CDs have copy protection
■
software. You may not be able to play these
CDs on your notebook.
Your notebook may be experiencing some
■
temporary memory problems. Shut down
and restart your notebook.
Clean the disc. For more information, see
