Common faults of optical drives In addition to the reduced ability to read discs with aging bald heads, there are also some uncommon mechanical faults. The author has encountered an example recently.
An optical drive with good disc reading ability and has never been repaired. Recently, I pressed the Kankan out of the warehouse and felt that the optical drive was slow to react, and the pallet popped up slowly, so did the same in the warehouse. After a while, the fault worsened. Press the exit key and only the sound of the motor rotating in the optical drive was heard, but the optical drive tray could not pop up. Press the entry and exit keys many times, and the optical drive tray would occasionally enter and exit the warehouse. There is an emergency ejection hole on the optical drive panel. You can use a paper clip or something similar to push the tray out, and after putting it in the optical drive, you can read the disc normally. This small problem is very annoying. Although we are not from electrical appliances, we still have to use our DIY spirit and find ways to do it ourselves!
During the "sickness" of the optical drive, although it cannot enter and exit the warehouse smoothly, the disk reading is normal, which means that the optical drive's bald head part is not damaged and the fault should be in the mechanical part. Since the fault occurs inside the optical drive, the optical drive must be disassembled and repaired. The process of removing the optical drive is relatively simple, so there is no need to say more here. I took apart the optical drive and looked closely. Good guy, there was a lot of dust gathering inside the optical drive. The owner was too careless and didn't give the optical drive a comfortable environment. No wonder the optical drive got angry.
Remove the dust in the optical drive and put it in a CD to test the machine. The result is that the failure remains the same. It seems that the dust has little impact on the optical drive. How to solve the problem of the optical drive outlet failure? Carefully observe the working condition of the optical drive tray. There are two grooves on the optical drive tray, stuck on the two plastic tracks, and gears on the tray, which completes the entry and exit of the tray under the driving of the motor. Looking closely, the track of the optical drive is covered with dust, and the original grease has dried up and hardened. The resistance between the pallet and the optical drive track is very large. Could it be that the friction resistance between the pallet and the track increases, which makes the pallet unable to leave the compartment? Sweep away the dust on the optical drive track, clean the hardened grease, then apply some lubricating oil between the track and the tray, or some things that can lubricate, such as butter for automobiles, Vaseline for hospitals, etc. After processing, connect the optical drive to the computer, press the entry and exit keys on the optical drive, and the optical drive tray will be opened manually. Haha, troubleshoot!
