Floppy drive and CD-ROM

Hi,

I need the pictures of disk drive and CD-ROM internal parts or components
with the explanation about their functions. I tried to search it thru
Google, but the
result is not satisfying.

Anybody have it or knows the relevant web sites? Please help me by sharing
it.

TIA,

Yasmin

 

Hi Yasmin,

Quite a few labelled views of the internals of a CD drive here:
http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/cdfaq.htm
(open the links ending in "gif" eg, http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/sdm1212.gif)

For those that are interested that page is quite a wealth of CD repair knowledge.

Interesting stuff Matt. I might have a read myself.

 

Hi,

Thanks to All who respond to my post. I got the picture of the DVD-ROM and the pdf file on hard disk is very good. I need such files for floppy drive and CD-ROM. Anybody knows such files on the net?

Thanks,

Yasmin

 

Yasmin, sorry I didn't make it clear how to get the CD-rom pictures.
