Computer CD/DVD drive not reading disks properly???

[~Axis~]

Thanks guys. I just tried this trick and it seems to make the drive work somewhat better. I noticed that the thingy that holds the lens was way too close to the center than usual, so I moved the thingy all the way in the opposite direction, shut down the pc, popped in a cd, closed the tray, turned pc on. Now it seems to read disks without me having to make it go to sleep and waking it up again. Ah well... wait a minute... WHY ARE WE STILL USING DISKS IN AN AGE WHERE ALMOST EVERYTHING IS DOWNLOADABLE????


Anyway. Thanks guys. I appreciate the help.
