    Hey everyone

    My laptop CD Drive after 3 months of no use, now dosent work, I tried to boot up a win xp CD for reformatting but it did boot up and when in windows after several tries it still didnt run even in windows.

    Does someone know if its a complete CD Drive falure and dead, or is there a way to fix it?

    Its a Compaq Armada 3000 , Thanks for looking

    try cleaning the laser lens with isopropyl alcohol & a q-tip. also edit your sig to conform to forum specs.
    2. An image-only signature should be less than 50kb in size, and be at most 500 pixels wide and 200 pixels tall.
