Problem Procedure

You cannot access a

CD/DVD in the drive

Make sure the drive’s drawer is securely closed.

Press gently until it clicks into place.

Open the drawer and make sure the CD/DVD is

properly seated. It should lie flat with the label

facing up.

A foreign object in the drawer could block laser

light from reading the CD or DVD. Make sure

there is no obstruction. Remove any foreign

object.

Check whether the DVD is dirty. If it is, wipe it

with a clean cloth dipped in water or a neutral

cleaner. See the Media care section in Chapter 4

for details on cleaning.
