Operating
Procedure
Make sure the drive's disc tray is securely
closed. Press gently until it clicks into place.
Check whether the drive power is on. If the
power is off, click on the optical disk drive icon in
the task tray and turn on the power.
Open the disc tray and make sure the CD/DVD is
properly seated. It should lie flat with the label
facing up.
A foreign object in the disc tray could block laser
light from reading the CD/DVD. Make sure there
is no obstruction. Remove any foreign object.
Check whether the CD/DVD is dirty. If it is, wipe it
with a clean cloth dipped in water or a neutral
cleaner. Refer to the
Chapter 4 for details on cleaning.
