•
secure in the spindle on the drive tray.
Make sure the CD or DVD is free from scratches or smudges. If the
•
CD or DVD is dirty, clean it using a disc cleaning kit. Remember to
follow the instructions included with the kit.
If the problem does not lie with the disc, your CD or DVD drive
•
may be dirty. Clean it using a drive cleaning kit. Follow the
instructions included with the kit.

Try attaching an external keyboard to the USB connector on the
computer's rear. If it works, contact your dealer or an authorized
service center as the internal keyboard cable may be loose.
