Problem Procedure

facing up. 

A foreign object in the drawer could block laser 
light from reading the CD/DVD. Make sure there 
is no obstruction. Remove any foreign object. 

Check whether the CD/DVD is dirty. If it is, wipe 
it with a clean cloth dipped in water or a neutral 
cleaner. See the 

Media care

correctly, but others 
do not 

The software or hardware configuration may be 
causing a problem. Make sure the hardware 
configuration matches your software’s needs.
