CD-ROM disc vibration
Your CD-ROM drive reads CD-ROM discs very quickly, but because of the
high rotation speed of the drive, some CD-ROM discs can wobble and cause
the computer to vibrate. This vibration affects very few CD-ROM discs and
does not damage your computer or the CD-ROM disc itself, but you should
be aware of the vibration in case it occurs.
What causes the vibration? Some CD-ROM disc labels have artwork on them
that can cause the disc’s weight to be slightly off-center. For example, the label
(or “paint”) on the CD-ROM disc may be noticeably thicker on one side than
the other. A slightly off-centered CD-ROM disc can wobble in the drive and
cause your computer to vibrate.
Ejecting a CD-ROM disc
Follow these instructions to open the tray and eject a CD-ROM disc from
your computer.
IMPORTANT
You may not be able to eject a disc if it is being shared. To turn
off file sharing, use the Sharing Setup control panel.
