Well this is really upsetting, this unit was working just fine some months ago when I last used it.
Today I booted it up and it seems the CD drive has given up the ghost.
The disc spins up and the drive activity LED lights up, tne it tries to read and nothing.
Sometimes it makes a "krrk krrk krrk" noise, which is how I first suspected something was awfully wrong.
So are these normal issues of a failed laser? Is there anything I can try to see if it will resurrect or should I just buy a new laser?
Any help greatly appreciated
