Einleitung

DVD RW Double-Layer with SuperMulti drive. Part Number 686916-001

Also known as a DVD player, the optical drive allows the user to play DVD’s or CD’s. This Optical drive also allows the user to create/burn new DVD’s and CD’s.

The Optical Drive can suffer hardware issues which might prevent it from reading DVD’s. You can run a HP PC Hardware Diagnostics test at Support.hp.com. If the diagnostic test is unable to find the problem, the Optical Drive itself could be faulty.

This guide will explain how to remove the Optical Drive for replacement.

Check out the Troubleshooting guide for other issues that could be related to the optical drive.
