1. Keep the optical drive and disc clean
Optical drives use very precise optical components, and the most feared thing about optical components is dust pollution. Dust comes from the entire process of loading and exiting the CD. Whether the CD is clean is also directly related to the life of the CD. Therefore, the CD should be cleaned as necessary before loading it into the optical drive, and the CDs that are not used should be kept properly to prevent dust contamination.
2. Regular cleaning and maintenance of laser heads
After the optical drive is used for a period of time, the laser head will inevitably be stained with dust, which will reduce the disk reading ability of the optical drive. Specifically, the disk reading speed slows down, the display screen and sound appear mosaic or pauses. In severe cases, the sound of the optical drive frequently reading the CD can be heard. These phenomena are harmful to the laser head, the drive motor and other components. Therefore, users should regularly clean and maintain the optical drive or ask professionals to maintain it.
3. Keep the optical drive horizontally placed
During the use of the machine, the optical drive must be kept horizontally. The reason is that the center of gravity of the disc changes due to imbalance when it rotates. In mild cases, the disk reading ability may decrease, and in severe cases, the laser head may be damaged. Some people use computer optical drives to install software on different machines, often remove the optical drive and take it around, or even carry it with them, which is very harmful to the optical drive. The harm is that the optical components and laser heads in the optical drive change due to vibration and tilt placement, resulting in a degradation in the performance of the optical drive.
4. Develop the habit of picking up the disk in time before shutting down the phone
Once there is a CD in the optical drive, not only will the computer start up and the CD will be in a long time to read the disk, but the CD will also be in a high-speed rotation state. This not only increases the working time of the laser head, but also causes the motor and transmission components in the optical drive to be worn, which invisibly shortens the life of the optical drive. It is recommended that users develop the habit of removing the CD from the optical drive in time before shutting down the power.
5. Reduce the working time of the optical drive
In order to reduce the usage time of the optical drive and extend its life, users who use computers can make frequently used optical disks into virtual optical disks on the hard disk when the hard disk space allows. For example, teaching software, game software, etc. are stored in the hard disk, so that it can run directly on the hard disk in the future and has the characteristics of fast speed.
6. Use less pirated CDs and more genuine CDs
Many friends have a certain gap between the price of pirated CDs and the price of genuine CDs, and the content of the CDs is rich. Based on China's national conditions, this book is beyond refutation. However, because your optical drive has long read pirated CDs, and the quality of its discs is poor, the laser head needs to read the data repeatedly many times. This increases the working time of the motor and laser head, thereby greatly shortening the service life of the optical drive. Currently, the price of genuine software has dropped significantly, some are only slightly more expensive than pirated software, and the optical drive is guaranteed to read the disk. Therefore, it is recommended that you try to use pirated CDs as little as possible in the future and use genuine CDs more often.
7. Open and close the plate box correctly
No matter which optical drive is used, there are box-out and box-off buttons on the front panel. Using this button is a regular correct way to switch the optical drive disc box. Do not use too much force when pressing the keys to prevent the key from getting out of control. Some users are used to pushing the disc box directly back with their hands, which is a harm to the transmission gear of the optical drive, and users are advised to overcome this bad habit.
8. Use the program to open and close the disk box
Using programs to switch disk boxes has such functions in many software or multimedia playback tools. If you right-click the disc letter in Windows, there is also a "eject" command in the pop-up menu that can pop up the disc box. It is recommended that computer users try to use software to control the opening and closing of the disk box, which can reduce the incidence of optical drive failures.
9. Careful and careful maintenance
Since all the components in the optical drive are very precise, users must pay attention to the methods and methods when disassembling and installing the optical drive, and pay attention to recording the original fixed position. If you are not sure, you can ask professional maintenance personnel to disassemble and repair it. Especially when the laser head is aging and the driving power needs to be adjusted to increase the power of the laser tube, you must ask a professional maintenance personnel to debug it in case you adjust it too much, causing the laser head to burn out.
10. Try to play the movie less
This can prevent the optical drive from working for a long time, because the optical drive continuously reads the disk for a long time, which has a great impact on the optical drive life. Users can copy programs that need to be played frequently, and it is best to copy them to the hard drive to ensure the longevity of the optical drive. If you really want to watch movie discs frequently, it is recommended to buy a cheap low-speed optical drive specifically for playing VCDs.
