What to do if weird noise and vibration is produced from the CD/DVD-ROM ?

    • There is strange noise or vibration in CD/DVD drive.
    • Depending on the CDs, the loudness of sound and amplitude of vibration are different.

    CD problems may result in resonance-vibrations in CD-ROM drive.
    The CD will Vibrate Slightly when reading the disk at a high speed, and CD-ROM drive may resonate with the CD.
    The issue may occur if one of the following conditions is true:
    • CD has not been inserted into CD-ROM drive correctly.
    • There is paper label on the CD.
    • CD is deformed (Not round, curved).
    • The center of the CD deviates. (There is little away from the center.)
    • 8cm CD cannot be inserted into the adapter (The CD-ROM drive requires an adapter).

    Please check if user has inserted a CD that always causes big vibration in other drives.
    If no error message is received when user hears strange noise or vibration from CD-ROM drive, and the drive can read the CD properly, which means the CD-ROM drive is in good state.
