Carin Sat Nav System
« on: 02 March 2010, 18:06:50 »
The CD rom drive keeps "spitting" out the UK map disc, It loads in okay then you can hear it spinning then 5 seconds later spits out, Tried cleaning the disc, not a scratch on it at all...any ideas anyone??? Thanks

Spitting out is a sure sign that the laser cannot read disk.  So unless the disk is scratched to hell, most likely laser has failed.  If there is condensation on the disk, that will make it more difficult to read.

Ok thanks, Would you know if its possible to replace the laser, or would it be the case of a hole new system? :( Also is it worth trying a CD laser cleaning disc?
