notebook optical drives is a very delicate parts, coupled with the use of high frequency, life is very limited indeed. For this reason, many businesses optical drive warranty time is much shorter than other parts of the part. In fact affect the optical drive life mainly laser head, life of the life of the laser head is actually a CD drive. Extend the life of the optical drive, should, starting from maintenance of the laser head, exactly following ten methods:
1, keep the CD drive, CD cleaner
2, regular cleaning and maintenance of laser head; optical drive use after a period of time, laser head is bound to get into the dust, so as to bring down the CDROM read disk capacity. Specific performance as a reading speed to slow down, display pictures and sound appear mosaic or come to a halt, serious frequently read the disc sound can be heard when the CD drive. These phenomena on laser head and the drive motor and other parts are damaged. Therefore, users to regular cleaning and maintenance, or optical drive professional maintenance.
3, keep the optical drive positioned horizontally
second, notebook drive type
notebook optical drives can be broadly divided into the CD-ROM drive, DVD drive (DVD-ROM), combo (COMBO) and writer.
1, CD-ROM optical drive: also known as the compact disk read only memory, a read-only optical storage media. It was originally used for audio CD CD-DA (Digital Audio) format developed. This General in addition to the optical drive can read CD format of the disc, it can also read files in formats such as VCD, MP3 discs, of course, can read files of computer application software.
2, DVD optical drives: optical drive is a DVD disc can be read, in addition to compatible common formats such as DVD-ROM,DVD-VIDEO,DVD-R,CD-ROM Hp Pavilion Dv6700 Battery, CD-R/RW,CD-I,VIDEO-CD,CD-G, and so are well supported. Simply put, optical remove the optical drive can read CD-ROM can read DVD format files hp pavilion dv6500 Battery, can also read files in DVD format (disc).
3, COMBO optical drive: "Kang Bao" is the awareness of COMBO optical drive, commonly known as the optical drive. And COMBO optical drive is a collection of CD burning, CD-ROM and DVD-ROM as one of the all-optical storage product.
4, burning optical drive: includes CD-r, CD-RW, and DVD burners, DVD burners also divided into DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW (w representative may repeatedly erased) and DVD-RAM. Burner and the appearance of an ordinary optical drive almost, but usually are clearly identified on the front panel writes, carbon, and read three speeds.
measurement of the optical drive is good or bad indicators are mainly for speed and error correction capacity, shock, and so on. Laptop due to the volume, and heat dissipation limit, speed generally slightly behind the desktop optical drives, Notebook CD-ROM speed is generally now at around 24X, DVD-ROM, 8X, Combo notebook drive before the usual read and write speeds of 24x16x24x8 (24xCD-R, and 16xCD-RW, and 24xCD-ROM, 8xDVD). Error correction ability General for factory trademark said, light with its text describes is difficult to accurate to judgment its real situation, comparison effective of judgment method is in purchased machine Qian with Shang a Zhang in good of optical drive Shang can read of "rotten disk", and placed into you to buy of notebook optical drive in, if can normal read words proved the optical drive quality better, if cannot normal read words is also is does not buy for better. Earthquake preparedness capacity we would have been difficult to test, only through the manufacturer describes the text intoAnalysis of line, or with information on the Internet, the product manufacturer's reputation, and more comprehensive analysis.
6, less pirated optical discs and more with genuine
an article on: full record of Mr Xu Jianlin, ASUS Notebooks product Director on November 24 to answer next: 23rd 11 month, will post as soon as possible of all the original posts address replies here tomorrow. , notebook drive basic knowledge
three, notebook maintenance 12 rules
because all the parts are very precise in the optical drive, users open and during the installation of the optical drive is important to note that ways and means, pay attention to record original fixed location. If you're not sure, then, may invite the professional maintenance disassembly and maintenance. In particular the ageing of the laser head, when you need to adjust the drive power to improve the laser tube power, be sure to ask for professional maintenance personnel debug in case their adjustment too large, making laser burn.
10, as few discs
using the machine in the process, the CD drive to maintain the level of placement. The reason for this is the CD when you rotate the Centre of gravity changes because of the imbalance, can bring down the reading ability when minor, serious could damage the laser head. Some people use computer optical drive in the install the software on different machines, often took to remove the optical drive, or even carry, this optical drive damage is very large. The harm is the optical drive in the optical components, laser head due to changes in the tilt and vibration placed, causing the drive performance.
4 and the habit of closing session in a timely manner before the shutdown
switch the disc box using program, in many software or multimedia player tool, there is such a feature. As in Windows by using the right mouse button to click the CD drive letter, it also has a pop-up menu item "eject" command, you can eject the CD case. Recommended for computer users to make use of the software controlling the opening and closing the disc box, thus reducing the optical drive failure rates.
9 Dell Inspiron 9400 Battery, prudent and careful maintenance
work long hours so you can avoid the CD drive, optical drive continuously zxcsky32645 for a long time reading disk and optical drive life a great. Users may need regular programmes broadcast, would do well to copy into a hard disk, to ensure that the optical drive and long life. If you do often depends on the disc, recommended to buy a cheapLow-speed CD drive designed to play a VCD.
as the laptop is fastidious smaller, and the optical drive is not its use is not available and frequently used hardware, in order to reduce the weight of the machine and reducing machine dimensions, many notebook computers using the optical drive external, some laptops in order to take into account the performance and the use of optical floppy drive, swap or the built-in methods. Specifically, notebook optical drives in laptops in the State has three, with special terms Spindle (axis of a Spindle refers to rotating or Cone, notebook computer, hard drive, floppy drive and CD drive Spindle representative) (axis of a Spindle refers to rotating or Cone, notebook computer, hard drive, floppy drive and CD drive Spindle representative) difference.
the first is 1-Spindle. This refers to a notebook only a Spindle, the Spindle of course refers to the hard drive, because there is no hard drive is basically can't startup work. At this point, the type of notebook or the floppy drive and CD drive external or not equipped with optical drive and floppy drive.
a third: 3-Spindle of course refers to the hard drive, optical drive, floppy drive, all built into the inside of the machine, that is, we often say that all of the built-in types.
1-Spindle (external laptop) General characteristics with ultra light thin, weight no more than 1.8 kilograms, the thickness of less than 2.5 cm, in order to solve the problem in a limited space, �V case generally use aluminum alloy material, otherwise it will affect the quality of performance. This type of notebook while the lightest weight, volume, but will not be so easy to use.
3-Spindle (all-in-one, full built-in) machines because the built-in optical drive and floppy drive, volume and weight is the largest, generally greater than 3 kg in weight, of course, some have less than 3 kg, about 4 cm in thickness, high capacity, robust performance, easier to use, generally for fixed Office needs, can also be used in place of desktop.
2-Spindle (does not have a built-in floppy disk drive or floppy drive, external, or floppy drive and CD drive swaps) between between external and internal, moderate weight and size, is the more common type of laptop.
11, do not recommend playing CD games
portable CD/DVD drive is not recommended to play the CD version of the game, notebook optical drives are dedicated components, replaced once the damage is very troublesome, if you want to play CD games recommended virtual optical drive to play discs. District codes
many friends because of pirated optical discs and genuine prices a certain gap, plus the CD content rich and buy, based on national conditions of China, the undisputed, but because of your optical drive long-term reading of pirated optical discs, due to poor quality of the disc, laser head needs repeated reading data. Such a motor and laser increases the working time, greatly shortens the life of the optical drive. Current price of genuine software has greatly decreased, some more expensive than pirated software slightly, and the optical drive read disk has a guarantee. It is recommended that you avoid it pirated optical discs in the future more genuine.
7, the correct opening and closing the disc box
once a CD in the optical drive, not only to read-there are a lot of disk when the computer starts, and the CD will have been in a State of spin. This increases both the working time of the laser head, also makes the motor and transmission components in the optical drive in a State of wear, which shorten the life of the optical drive. Recommended that you use to acquire the shutdown time habit of remove the CD from the CD drive.
5, the reduction of working time of the optical drive
12, try not to break optical drive; laptop DVD drive is region code protection, there are no area codes-free products on the desktop, trying to crack the optical drive in the portable area codes is a dangerous operation, I do not propose to do it, even if it is certain to crack it is best to wait for all the run out of area code changes.
in either CD or DVD drive, are out of the box and close the box on the front panel keys, this key is a regular method of the correct switch optical drive disc box. When you press the fingers cannot be too hard to prevent press out. Some users are used to directly push the disc box with your hands, this optical drive gear is a compromise, it is recommended that users overcome this bad habit.
8, use procedures for opening and closing the disc box
in order to reduce the use of the optical drive time Dell Vostro 1720 Battery, to extend its life, using the computer of the user in the case of hard drive space allows, you can make frequently used CDs into virtual CD stored on the hard disk. Teaching software, game software stored on your hard disk, which can be run directly on the hard drive later, and has the characteristics of speed.
optical drive uses very precise optical components, and optical components are most afraid of is the dust pollution. Dust from the disc mount, exit of the entire process, directly related to the life of the CD is clean the optical drive. So before mount the CD drive, the CD should make necessary clean, do not use to keep the disc to prevent dust pollution.
