Sometimes when I use normal CD's in my DVD ROM drive (NEC DV-5800A says my system properties) it tells me there is no CD in the drive. reinserting the CD a couple of times normally fixes this, So I haven't bothered to try and fix it permanantly till now. But some CD's it just won't read. A friend lent me a copy of MS's Starlancer and it refuses to accept there is a CD in the drive no matter how many times I try it. All the CD's it doesn't read work perfectly in other computers. It seems to be affected by heat because sometimes I can get it to read CD's once I have let it cooled down.
Does anyone know of any way I could fix it permantly or will I have to get a new dvd rom? |

Sounds like that something might not be in alignment or it may just need a clean. Some one recommended the Phillips Cd cleaner recently you might want to give that a go. Are the CD's you're having problems with copies or originals? some DVD/CD Roms are sensitive to CDR's. |
