CD Drive Broken... Again
« on: June 21, 2005, 09:44:09 AM »
Umm... My CD Drive will not open and it will not read the disc that is stuck in there. Putting the paperclip in the hole does not work. Can someone help me (again)? Thanks.  ???

maybe the drive needs cleaning.......you may have to force the drawer open........try the paper clip again.....

I did manage to get the drive open by forcing it with the paper clip... but how do I clean a drive? I've never done that before...
This happened once before and I had to get a new CD drive...

If the CD-ROM drive is working when placed inside another computer, your power cable connector may be faulty.
