By my knowledge a CD drive works by rotating gears against a toothed strip of plastic, causing it to extend or retract. my only explination would be that you have maybe clsed the CD drive vigorously and quickly causing it to strip the gears. in this case it would make a humming sound when you press the button and not do anything. if it does not make a sound im afraid i have no idea.

GO to 'My Computer'. then you should see a letter with a D or something, that contains your CD. If it does not work or you dont see it then you either put in a DVD game that doesnt work with your regular CD drive.

To view an MRI CD on your Acer laptop, first insert the CD into the laptop's optical drive. If your laptop doesn't have a built-in CD drive, you may need an external USB CD/DVD drive. Once the CD is inserted, open the file explorer, navigate to the CD drive, and look for image files in formats like DICOM (.dcm).
