Problem occurs during disk insertion.
I faced no problems earlier with inserting disks, but now playing music from CDs isn’t working. I hear the rotation but there’s no output. Do you know a solution? All systems seem fine internally.
Did you test another CD and it worked? If yes, clean your CD. If your drive is faulty, replace it with a new one. You can find it for about $10 at any hardware store.
I’d use a can of compressed air inside the drive for cleaning if the dust didn’t remove on the lid. The lenses might have gathered while not in use. Is this a laptop disk or a regular optical drive? …If it’s a laptop, just open the drive and wipe the lenses with a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol, making sure no streaks remain. For a standard model, you’ll need to take apart the housing slightly—usually only a few screws are involved—and you should see lenses beneath the tray.
Purchase a fresh optical drive—they’re extremely affordable these days. My sister got one for me during my build since I missed placing an order initially; it was around $20 at Walmart and supports Blu-ray, CDs, DVDs, and more.
