Hi ubamous3,

Do you happen to have a Disk in your cd-rom drive? Could be as simple as your CD-Rom spinning up.


Also, When spraying air into the guts of one of these beasts, back off a foot. It may not clean as well but you won't be creating massive streams of ESD. (Electro-Static Discharge.)

no, i didnt have a disk in my cdrom, but your question reminds me; for a while, whenever i tried to put a cdr in, it makes really loud sounds like someone's choking its mother, and when i immediately take the cd out, i notice on the top of the cd,there's like a whte round imprint; so i havent used that cdrom drive for a very long while; and yesterday when i just happened to put a cdrw in after i blow the dust out , it didnt make that noise; so i thought it's fixed, but then it made that sound again when i put a cdr in; what causes that?

and what would creating massive streams of ESD do to the computer?

one of the things that causes ESD is the movement of air molecules over plastics (The nozzle or spray tube of canned air for example.) ESD safe work stations have an "ionizing" attachment on their air nozzles. There are special non-ESD producing plastics. A few years back one company made a computer cooling device that was a plastic chute for directing blown air into various parts of the computer interior. Not good! I think some Dell computers have an air directing system in them. Dell did it correctly and used a static free sythetic.
