Laptop cd/dvd reader/writer

[jshah]

Hello everyone
In my acer laptop which is about 2 year old, the cd/dvd drive is not responding to any cd/dvd I put in. Although the drive is detected and shows in my computer, the drive simply does not read the disk. if the drive head has to be cleaned please advise how to clean?

Thanks and Regards

You just need a cleaning disc as pictured here: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51HF65YZ1DL._SL500_AA280_.jpg
Basically you can pick one up for any large store

Mind you laptops have always been very poor at reading burnt discs compared to originals. Therefore you may just want to purchase an external USB CD\DVD Burner
