1. Keep the optical drive and CD clean
Optical drives use very precise optical components, while optical components are most afraid of dust contamination. Dust comes from the whole process of loading and unloading the disc, and whether the disc is clean or not is directly related to the life of the disc drive. Therefore, the optical disc should be cleaned before being loaded into the optical drive, and the non-used optical disc should be properly stored to prevent dust pollution.
2. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the laser head
After the optical drive is used for a period of time, the laser head must be stained with dust, thereby reducing the disk reading capability of the optical drive. The specific performance is that the reading speed is slowed down, and the display screen and sound appear mosaic or pause. In severe cases, the sound of the optical disc can be heard frequently. These phenomena are detrimental to the laser head and the drive motor and other components. Therefore, users should regularly clean and maintain the optical drive or ask for professional maintenance.
3. Keep the optical drive horizontally placed
The optical drive should be placed horizontally during the use of the machine. The reason is that the center of gravity of the optical disc changes due to the imbalance when it is rotated, and the reading ability is lowered when it is slight, and the laser head may be damaged in severe cases. Some people use a computer optical drive to install software on different machines. They often remove the optical drive and take it with them, even carrying it with them. This is very damaging to the optical drive. The hazard is that the optical components in the optical drive and the laser head are changed due to vibration and tilting, resulting in a decline in the performance of the optical drive. 
4. Develop the habit of taking the time before shutting down
Once there is a disc in the optical drive, not only does the computer have a long time to read the disk when it starts up, but the disc will also be in a high-speed rotation state. This not only increases the working time of the laser head, but also causes the motor and the transmission component in the optical drive to be worn, which shortens the life of the optical drive invisibly. Users are advised to develop the habit of removing the disc from the optical drive before shutting down.
5. Reduce the working time of the optical drive
In order to reduce the use time of the optical drive to extend its life, the user who uses the computer can store the frequently used optical disk as a virtual optical disk on the hard disk when the hard disk space permits. For example, teaching software, game software, etc. are stored in the hard disk, so that it can be directly run on the hard disk in the future, and has the characteristics of high speed.
6. Less use of pirated discs, more use of genuine discs
Many friends have a certain gap between the price of pirated CDs and the price of genuine CDs, and the use of CDs is rich in content. Based on China's national conditions, this is beyond reproach, but because CD-ROMs read pirated CDs for a long time, because of the poor quality of the discs, lasers The header needs to read the data multiple times. This increases the working time of the motor and the laser head, which greatly shortens the service life of the optical drive. At present, the price of genuine software has dropped greatly, some are only slightly more expensive than pirated software, and CD-ROM reading has been guaranteed.
7. Correctly open and close the disk box
Regardless of the type of optical drive, the front panel has a box and a close button, which is a conventional method of properly switching the optical drive. When the button is pressed, the finger cannot be used too hard, in case the button is out of control. Some users are accustomed to pushing the cartridge back directly by hand, which is a kind of damage to the drive gear of the optical drive. It is recommended to overcome this bad habit.
8. Use the program to open and close the disk box
Using the program to switch the disk box, it has such a function in many software or multimedia playback tools. For example, if you right-click the CD drive letter in Windows, there is also a pop-up menu in the pop-up menu to eject the CD case. It is recommended to use software to control the opening and closing of the disk box as much as possible, which can reduce the incidence of optical drive failure.
9. Careful maintenance
Since all the components in the optical drive are very precise, the user must pay attention to the method and method in the process of disassembling and installing the optical drive, and pay attention to record the original fixed position. If you are not sure, please ask professional maintenance personnel to disassemble and repair. Especially when the laser head is aging, when the driving power supply needs to be adjusted to increase the power of the laser tube, it is necessary to ask the professional maintenance personnel to debug, in case the adjustment is too large, so that the laser head burns out.
10. Minimize the video disc
This can prevent the optical drive from working for a long time, because the optical drive continuously reads the disk for a long time, which has a great influence on the life of the optical drive. Users can use programs that need to be played frequently, and it is best to copy them to the hard disk to ensure the longevity of the CD-ROM. If you really want to watch a DVD, it is recommended to buy a cheap low-speed optical drive dedicated to playing VCD.
