If your **optical drive** is not reading discs, the problem can be as simple as dust, alignment, or a worn laser. In **Mansfield**, we see this issue often with **CD**, **DVD**, and some older **Blu-ray** setups at home and in small offices.

Repatch handles repairs with a courier collection service. You can get your device to a professional technician, then have it returned quickly, often within **2 hours** after drop off.


## Common optical drive faults we fix

Here are the most frequent **optical drive issues** reported in **Mansfield**:

- **Disc not detected** even when the disc is clean and works elsewhere
