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 disc does not eject due to a power failure or software error.
Turn off the system and use the emergency eject feature. Insert the end
of a paper clip into the eject hole. Press inward on the clip to open the
door.
!
The drive plays music CDs but the sound is not heard.
If installed, check that the speaker power is on (see “Speaker
Problems”).
If the speaker set has a volume control, adjust the volume control.
Check 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.
