Hello.
I have an HP Compaq 6701b and its DVD drive is acting up..
It happens when it tries to read and when it initializes on Boot.
It makes a low pitch buzz and when its happenign when a disk is being read, the motor halts for a split second, and therefore it wont read correctly.
Is this a problem with the Motor or the Laser?
Is it fixable or i should just seek a replacement?
