DVD or CD reading issue is the most common problems encountered by every computer user at certain stage, whether it is laptop user or desktop computer operator because they operate on same mechanism. The common problem which occurs to CD/DVD Rom is not reading the inserted disk. Every DVD/CD Rom has certain life time which once over, it is over. However there are few steps and precautionary measure which can improve and increase the life of DVD/CD Rom. First I should mention what reduce life for these drives.
Mostly regular disk lens cleaning is not performed and dust particles starts setting on the surface of the lens in result making it harder for reading CDs inserted. It is highly recommended that lens cleaner should be used once in week to keep the lens clean for longer life time of DVD/CD drives.
One more reason for faulting is head of DVD/CD Rom. Head helps reading the inserted disk in drive, it has certain time during which it reads inserted disk easily but after words it starts skipping and eventually stops reading, the more header used the quicker it will lose the power to read. It is recommended to not to keep cds in side drives when it is not required. It will only use head uselessly. Insert Cds only when it is required, after using it take the disk out of the drive so that head is no more used, this way heads life can be increased and DVD/CD drives can perform better and for longer period of time.
