DVDs Skipping
      #386930 - Tue Mar 04 2008 09:54 AM

My DVD writer has just started to skip when playing back DVDs. This is happening when I use the bottom tray...the top one seems ok. Can anyone advise?

Try one of those cleaning CDs/DVDs. Always worth having one about as a bit of dust on the laser can cause skipping, but it may be that it is on the way out and needs replacing.

I had one where the drawer sticks. Takes a few choice presses or a paperclip. Still can get it to work, but you can pick one up for £20/30 and change it fairly easy.
