Megashrap Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 As I said in another thread I had a disc bow to pieces inside it. Is there any chance it will still work at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostHunter Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Try it. But probably not.The lens and the area in which the lens is exposed is completely open on optical drives for computers. Meaning if something were to shatter there's probably traces that scratched the lens, or are sticking in that hole not allowing the tray to properly come out, or cut the small band that the drives actually use to retract in and out. Basically if anything goes wrong on optical drives just get a new one; they work or they don't.If the tray doesn't open off the bat try using the emergency release (a little hole on the front of the drive that you can fit a paper clip in that ejects the tray manually) and see if you can clear any traces out. But don't hold your breath to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megashrap Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 I kinda figured that as well. Of all the discs to break into a billion pieces it had to be the one that costed me 129 bucks. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
