Urgent!!! Multiple questions about optical drives

2.Both optical drives and optical discs are consumables, and optical drives usually have a lifespan of about one year, and the life of optical discs is shorter. The use of virtual optical drives can greatly reduce the number of times that optical discs and optical drives can be used, thereby extending their lifespan.

The virtual optical drive tool can establish the image file of the entire disc content as a virtual disc on the hard disk or file server, and establish a virtual disc drive in the system at the same time, and the virtual optical drive simulates various insertion, ejection, reading, automatic operation and other operations of the virtual disc by the virtual optical drive. The virtual optical drive is also a standard Windows system device, which can be viewed and set up in the "Control Panel - System - Device Manager", can be used by all software, and is completely equivalent to the function and operation of a real optical drive.

3.Yes, some with a burning function are also called burners or Combo (CD burners can read DVDs).

4.No. 5.A general optical drive can only "read" files on a disc, while those with a burning function can read and "write" files to a specific burning disc, that is, copy them to a disc.

6.Yes, a lot.

1.So to speak, 2In a nutshell, a virtual optical drive is software, and an optical drive is hardware.

4.That's definitely not the case, the general optical drive can't be burned, only the burning optical drive can be burned.

5.Optical drive, copy? Isn't it just copying, just put the disc into a CD-ROM drive that can read it, and you can copy it to the hard disk.

6, I have to burn the CD-ROM drive to try it, and you will know what tutorial you want.

The optics inside the optical drive, including the laser head, generally deteriorate significantly over a period of about three years, but this is only an average. I have used more than a dozen optical drives, from CD to ***, as well as Blu-ray optical drives, Combo, D engraved, and the lifespan ranges from half a year to ten years. The quality of different brands is bound to be different.

There are many possibilities for the display to flicker, if it is ****, it may be because the data flow is interrupted from time to time due to the aging of the optical drive. If it usually flashes, it does not rule out the problem of the graphics card, which requires a specific analysis of the specific problem.

Clean up the laser head!

First, anhydrous alcohol or other organic solvents cannot be used. Most of today's bald lenses are made of resin, not glass. Anhydrous alcohol and many organic solvents dissolve the resin.

If anhydrous alcohol or organic solvents are used, the lens will be reduced in light transmission, even if it is not scrapped, and the ability to read discs will be reduced or the lens will be scrapped altogether.

Second, you can't use lens paper. Some articles advocate wiping the lens of the laser head with the lens paper used to wipe the lens of the camera, but this is absolutely unacceptable.

The comparison between the lens of the camera lens and the lens of the laser head is much less demanding. Because most camera lenses are made of glass, which is very hard, and the anti-reflection coating is also very thick, ordinary wiping will not damage the lens. Secondly, even if there is a small amount of dust in the lens, the image quality will not be greatly affected.

But not with laser heads, lens paper is a stiffer fiber. If you use it to wipe the lens made of resin, it is easy to damage and scratch. or damage to the anti-reflection membrane.

This will also reduce the laser head's ability to read discs. According to my experience, it is best to use medical cotton wool to clean the laser head. When rolling cotton swabs, you should also be careful not to directly touch the cotton wool with your hands, but to roll it directly into a cotton swab with a toothpick.

Because human hands have body fat, if it sticks to the cotton swab, the effect of cleaning the lens will be greatly reduced, and even the more you clean it, the dirtier it will become.

Third, try not to use cleaning agents. If you do want to use it, it's best to use pure distilled water. Fourth, there are three steps when cleaning, firstly, use the blowing ball pressure air to spray off the dust with large particles on the surface of the lens.

Then wipe it with a cotton swab, and then test the effect. If it has completely returned to normal, do not use a cleaning agent, and if it does not achieve good results, use distilled water. After these three-step cleaning methods, normal use can generally be resumed.
