It may happen that we bought a movie, looked at him and gave to watch their friends or acquaintances. Then after returning the disc, he suddenly stopped reading.

What happened? We open the drive, carefully look at the disk and disappointment we see that there were scratches on it, which was not there before, but what is even more strange: he is some kind of all overlap, something smeared, all in some dried spots. How does he read the poor? Just the child of friends was inaccurately entered with him: let's say, threw the disk on a dirty face on the front side down, and even God forbid, at the top I put some item on it and tried on the table.

In no case do not wipe the CD Some napkins or rags - you can scratch even more (damage) the work surface of the disk ...

Well, with scratches, nothing will be done. If they are insignificant, the disc will read. But remove dirt from the disk by car wash in warm water with soap. Yes, as an ordinary plate, only with your hands, not a cloth or sponge.

We wat the usual water and neatly soap solution distribute over the surface with a soap hand. Simply put, good my hands before complete removal Dirty spots.

Finish, washed:

It may happen that it is time to change the drive due to the mechanical shift of the reading head relative to the surface (they say that "the eye has rushed").

As I already wrote earlier in other articles, the biggest problem for the computer is dust. It is clogged where only you can in such quantities that sometimes you just have a diva. DVD-drive optical disks - not an exception.

Dust, if the device does not clean, affects the operation of the drive tray, reduces the accuracy of the laser mechanism and affects the quality of the clamping mechanics. In general, the DVD drive must be cleaned at least once a year. Optimally - once every six months.

For cleaning and maintenance of the DVD drive, you will need lubricant, cotton wands and alcohol. After removing a DVD drive from system Block, you need to remove his front panel. First of all, it is necessary to push the drive tray. It is done with any long and thin subject (needles, clips, a piece of wire long 3 cm.).

On the front panel of any DVD drive, there is a small hole (p.2 on the bottom photo). Behind him (from the inside of the panel) there is a manual tray opening mechanism. It is necessary to press up with a slight force to this mechanism through the hole and the tray will be pulled out by 1-2 centimeters, after which it can be pulled out to the end manually.

Next from the tray you need to remove the dust cover. To do this, turn the drive and, moving the cover with your fingers, pull it down. On the lid, as a rule, there are two latches (p.1 on the bottom photo) and two guides on which the cover is kept. She is removed without much effort.

Next you need to drown the latches of the front panel. They are usually four (two below, two on the sides), or five (two on the sides, three below). After removing the front panel, the bolts (4 or 5 pieces) are unscrewed on the bottom lid of the DVD drive and the cover is removed.

Then you need to take a DVD drive behind the top cover and shake slightly. The plastic drive mechanism will fall out of the top cover (see the photo below). After removing the covers, the tray itself is removed optical disk. It is put forward until it stops, then the clamps located on the back of the tray in the corners (see the photo below) and the tray is removed.

All unnecessary parts with DVD drives are removed, you can proceed to cleaning. The main part of the DVD-drive body has a lot of recesses, grooves and recesses. They must be thoroughly purged to remove dust clusters. Even a small amount of its back wall or in the stroke of the tray can lead to the fact that the tray will stop opening (close).

The tray is driven by means of a motor who communicates with the mechanic rubber strap (passion). You need to remove your passion carefully not to stretch it. The mechanical work of the drive tray depends on the passage status. By the way, there are problems with a tray often arise after a long (more than two years) operation without maintenance. First, dust and the tray will not fall into the guides, it does not fall into the extreme position, and then the passion is stretched due to the fact that the drive mechanism cannot open the tray due to the wrong position of the tray.

Following the passion, we remove the mechanics control fee (1 or 2 latches). Care should also be exercised so as not to damage the engine control loop, which comes from the main board. In low-cost models, the loops may well be fragile or badly soldered. We remove dust from the mechanics with a soft brush or air on both sides (top and bottom). Ideally, it is advisable to walk throughout the DVD-drive first with a brush, and then blow with air (for example, with a rubber pear, which is sold on any pharmacy).

After all the dust from the drive housing is removed, rubber parts are deguted with alcohol and the old lubricant is removed from the guides (usually by the time there is a mixture of fine dust and dirt with a small amount of the remaining lubricant).

In conclusion, movable rubbing mechanical parts are lubricated with a small (meager) amount of lubricant to only form a film (no longer desirable). Visible accumulation of lubricant should not be.

The final touch is blowing (only rubber pear) the lenses of the laser mechanism (it is impossible to wipe it in any case) and the drive is collected back.
