Laser lens
When the disc tray is fully opened, the edge of the computer will extend
slightly over the area where you insert the media. Therefore, when loading
a CD, DVD, you will need to turn it slightly at an angle when you place it in
the disc tray. After loading the CD/DVD you should ensure that it is
properly positioned over the central spindle and that it lies flat within the
tray.
■ Do not touch either the laser lens or the area immediately around it -
doing so could cause misalignment and may damage the drive.
■ Make sure that no foreign objects are inserted into or otherwise enter
the drive.
Check the disc tray, especially the area behind the front edge, to
ensure that there are no foreign objects or material present before
closing the drive.
If the CD/DVD is not seated properly when the disc tray is closed, you may
find that the media itself might become damaged, and/or the disc tray
might not open fully when you next press the eject button.
