Mitsumi 32 x CD-ROM

[brandon184]

Once my cd-roms age a bit, they start collecting dust, even though they are used a lot.

In the majority of cases, I find, this is what causes skipping.

Have it cleaned, or buy a cleaning cd that runs a brush over the laser lens.

Hope this helps. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

or go out and buy as ASUS drive that will never give any problems while still being cheap!

Most of the time here, we try to find solutions to a specific problem, before just saying "go out and buy a new one."

3. put back together
4. incert cd. if still have the same problem.
5. either send to me or take out and shoot with a 12 guage shotgun. I'll shoot it.

I have had this mitsumi 32 speed cd rom drive since I got my system and it has ALWAYS skipped when playing audio tracks from regular cd's and games. I have put up with it for so long and have been told it was a defect in the actual line of 32x drives. Is this true???? Can I manually fix the problem??? Whats the deal????
