It's not that hard, try cleaning the dust


Huh, what's the story?!

Okay, I don't know why I'm telling you this.. but I haven't posted any for so long.. mmmm, let's start...

I wasn't cleaning my house then.. It was just my 2 years old laptop's DVD driver is completely useless. I wasn't able to browse any CDs or DVDs. I was worried that in case of system failure I would have troubles setting up a fresh one.

I once thought it passed away and it's lifetime is over. I thought about replacing it with a new one for some money. I don't know what stopped me, I was just lazy to go shopping :D

On the weekend, I picked up a screwdriver and pulled out the DVD driver. Then I went through the process of disassembling it into few cleanable parts. Using a napkin I brushed away all the sticking dust. I assembled it again and put it back in its place.

Okay, let's try it.. A live Ubuntu DVD....... Yesssss, it's working :)
So, Cleaning the dust made the trick!! Try the free solution first :D

منك لله ياشيخ.. كل ده يتقال ف كلمتين.. الدرايف مشتغلش وكسلت اشتري واحد نضفته اشتغل.. مش أروح أنا أجيب مترجم جنبي عشان يقعد يترجملي 30 سطر بابتساماتهم عشان في الآخر ألاقي نفسي بقرا شوية تراب ع الدرايف بتاعك:).. أشوف فيك يوم يابعيد!
