4. Press the center of the CD/DVD/BD gently until you feel it click into
place on the center spindle. The disc should be slightly below the top of
the spindle and flush with the spindle base.
5. Press the center of the disc tray in order to close it - the tray will click
into place when it is locked.
When the disc tray is fully opened, the edge of the computer will extend
slightly over the area where you insert the media. Therefore, when loading
a CD, DVD or BD, you will need to turn it slightly at an angle when you
place it in the disc tray. After loading the CD/DVD/BD you should ensure
that it is properly positioned over the central spindle and that it lies flat
within the tray.
■
Do not touch either the laser lens or the area immediately around it -
doing so could cause misalignment and may damage the drive.
■
Make sure that no foreign objects are inserted into or otherwise enter
the drive.
Check the disc tray, especially the area behind the front edge, to
ensure that there are no foreign objects or material present before
closing the drive.
If the CD/DVD/BD is not seated properly when the disc tray is closed, you
may find that the media itself might become damaged, and/or the disc tray
might not open fully when you next press the eject button.
