I tried to hear some music and nothing happened, I checked the installed hardware description and it shows the drive with a red X. Is there a way to mend it or the drive went bye bye for good?


Answer:
Talking about magnet I want to tell you what I did, I had the impression that magnet will erase data from CD I placed very powerful magnet on top of the CD I kept it for an Hour I put it on the other side of the CD after about another Hour I inserted the CD into the computer and it worked fine, so I think your CD drive is going bad or the CD you’re running is going bad.

Answer:
The magnets didn’t effect the CD drive as it is optical and contains no vital magnetic peices.

Answer:
It went bye bye for good. You will have to buy a new one, they are not very expensive.

Answer:
well its definintely fried, but i have a feeling it wasnt the magnets, but i concur they arent too expensive but make sure when u install it u know what ur doing…
