Repair CDRom Drive

You might find, sometime, that your CDRom cannot read the inserted disc.
The disc can be read by other drive, but not yours. Means that the disc is fine, problem is at your drive.
Clean the drive head doesn't help. So... what are you gonna do?

Actually, before you take your CDRom Drive to the repairman, you can try to fix it by your self.
But... there is no guarantee that this action will fix the problem. It is all your risk.

What i did is:
- Take off the drive from the CPU or laptop
- But make sure before you shutdown the computer, the drive is remain open
- Unscrew the drive door, and take it off
- Find flexyble cable that is attached to drive head
- At that area, you'll find something like potensio or screw for trimming
- Using screwdriver, turn it about 10-15 degree clockwise (tighten)
- Put everything back on, and attach the CDRom drive to your computer
- Then insert a disc................ hopefully it works now ^_^
