Ever taken a CD rom drive appart?

*watches reaction*


Well the motor is generaly not connected directly to the tray these days, they used to be connected by a gearing system, nowadays they are connected by a rubber belt..

So older drives suffer from pushing and pulling (come on, admit we've all pulled somtimes)..

Newer drives don't suffer as much, there's still risk but it's reduced..


I put my finger though the CD's center hole and push the button, not only does it save my motor it also keeps me on my toes.. ;)

I just had to open this thread purely because of the title... i was like "wtf could this be about?"

I push. Too lazy to do otherwise.

I push on this computer, however all other computers I tap the button. I think this one just has my hand moulded to the front of it :D

I'm a big pusher of everything other than my CD player... It's got one of those triple-disk trays and when it slides out it's a bit dodgy, like it's slightly too heavy to be hanging out that far. Sometimes I have to support it from underneath when I put a CD on it, just in case it snaps. So I use the button for that.
