2.8￿ ODD￿(Optical￿Disk￿Drive)￿

To￿check￿if￿the￿internal￿ODD￿drive￿is￿defective￿or￿malfunctioning,￿follow￿the￿troubleshooting￿ procedures￿below￿as￿instructed.￿

Procedure￿1￿￿ODD￿Cleaning￿Check￿

Procedure￿2￿￿Test￿Program￿Check￿

Procedure￿3￿￿Connector￿Check￿and￿Replacement￿Check￿

￿

Procedure￿1￿￿ODD￿Cleaning￿Check￿

1.￿ Turn￿off￿the￿power￿to￿the￿computer.￿

2.￿ Open￿the￿ODD￿tray￿by￿inserting￿a￿slender￿object￿such￿as￿a￿straightened￿paper￿clip￿into￿

the￿eject￿hole.￿￿The￿object￿must￿be￿long￿enough￿to￿activate￿the￿eject￿mechanism.￿

3.￿ Clean￿the￿laser￿pickup￿lens￿with￿a￿lens￿cleaner.￿￿Apply￿the￿cleaner￿to￿a￿cloth￿and￿wipe￿

the￿lens.￿

4.￿ If￿the￿ODD￿drive￿still￿does￿not￿function￿properly￿after￿cleaning,￿go￿to￿Procedure￿2.￿

Procedure￿2￿￿Test￿Program￿Check￿

Execute￿the￿ODD￿drive￿test￿program￿available￿as￿part￿of￿the￿maintenance￿test￿program.￿Insert￿ the￿diagnostics￿CD￿in￿the￿computer's￿CD,￿turn￿on￿the￿computer￿and￿run￿the￿test.￿Then￿insert￿a￿ test￿ODD￿(Toshiba-EMI￿DVD-ROM￿TEST￿DISK￿TSD-1)￿into￿the￿ODD￿drive.￿See￿Chapter￿3￿for￿information￿on￿how￿to￿perform￿the￿test.￿ If￿any￿error￿is￿detected￿by￿the￿test,￿go￿to￿Procedure￿3.￿

Procedure￿3￿￿Connector￿Check￿and￿Replacement￿Check￿

The￿ODD￿drive￿is￿connected￿to￿the￿system￿board￿by￿the￿connector.￿￿The￿connector￿may￿be￿ disconnected￿from￿the￿system￿board￿or￿faulty.￿￿Disassemble￿the￿computer￿following￿the￿steps￿ described￿in￿Chapter￿4￿and￿perform￿the￿following￿checks:￿

Check￿1￿ Make￿sure￿the￿following￿connector￿has￿been￿firmly￿connected￿to￿the￿ODD￿ drive￿and￿the￿system￿board.￿

If￿the￿connector￿is￿loose￿or￿off,￿reconnect￿it￿firmly￿and￿return￿to￿Procedure￿2.￿￿￿

If￿there￿is￿still￿an￿error,￿perform￿Check￿2.￿

Check￿2￿ The￿connector￿may￿be￿faulty.￿￿Replace￿the￿connector￿with￿a￿new￿one￿

following￿the￿steps￿in￿Chapter￿4.￿￿If￿the￿ODD￿drive￿is￿still￿not￿functioning￿

properly,￿perform￿Check￿3.￿
