hello,
i am using "Mavericks",my macbook playing cd but not play dvd,it eject evertime n some time eject cd without playing,tried reseting nvram but not working.
plz help me.
All DVDs or only a specific one?
CDs and DVDs use different components in an optical drive. It is possible the DVD part has failed.
all dvd it... reads some dvd but show blank ,other dvd only came out without loading and all cds working fine.
It sounds like the drive is failing. You can buy replacement internal drives if your computer is older than 5 years and you are content working inside it, or you can purchase a large variety of external optical drives for less than $50.
Have you tried cleaning the lens?
Ciao.
no how to clean it..its inside..
You can use a DVD lens cleaning disk.
If available, shoot compressed air into the slot.
Wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth) areound a bisiness card and carefully slide it into the slot.
Or you can open the MBP, extract the DVD drive and open the drive..
Ciao.
I'm always worried about shooting compressed air into the drive. I don't want to force any lint and things deeper into the drive. I'd be more inclined to do this from inside the computer where I could direct air outwards.
Be careful when using compressed air. It comes out cold and can freeze parts if too close for too long.
You can purchase special optical drive cleaning discs for about $10.
Macbook pro not playing dvd's,but play cd's
