Solving System Problems 5-7
The drive is not reading a disc.
Check that the disc is inserted in the disc tray with the printed label
side up.
Check that the disc is a data disc, not a music disc.
Clean the non-label side of the disc with a soft lint-free cloth. Gently
brush from the center of the disc to the outer edge of the disc. Or use a
commercial CD disc cleaner.
Try a different disc to see if the problem is limited to one disc.
The CD does not eject due to a power failure or software error.
Remove the system cover (see Section 4, “Removing the Cover”) to
access the emergency eject hole on the CD-ROM drive. Insert the end
of a paper clip into the hole and press inward until the drive door
opens. Remove the CD.
The drive plays music CDs but the sound is not heard.
If installed, check that the speaker power is on (see “Speaker
Problems”).
Adjust the volume control on the speaker.
Adjust the volume control in the system tray along the taskbar.
Check that the cable connecting the CD-ROM drive to the system
board CD audio connector is plugged in and secure.
