What could be wrong with the drive?

Question

Iron

there is an ordinary CD DVD rv, and so after I stopped writing discs, suddenly :) when disassembling and connecting the power, I insert the disc and the torque head does not spin the disc a couple of times, the laser will also slowly move a little and that’s it, I checked everything, I didn’t notice any physical malfunctions, What could be the reason?

Answer 1

It’s easier to buy a new one, repairs are either expensive or impossible. no spare parts.

Answer 2

Modern drives live an average of 1.5-2 years, and if you're lucky, dust gets into the laser head, you can clean it if you wish, but this is a maximum of a couple of months. Advice, send it to the experts

Answer 3

Buy a new one, but in general, drives are already an ancient century, I advise you to immediately buy a compact USB drive, it will be for the future, if you look at the old disk on a laptop where there is no drive, soon I think they will be abandoned altogether, + it will be in your pocket all the time and will be used only when needed, which will allow it to last longer due to the fact that it will not start every time with the system and will not be so dusty in your pocket!
