Introduction

NOTE: This process should be a last resort. Make sure you have completed all other forms of troubleshooting as a broken optical or CD drive is usually unlikely. If you have troubleshooted and determined that your drive needs to be replaced, before starting this process make sure to fully power off your computer and unplug it from the wall if it is charging. Be gentle with the components as it is easy to damage the optical drive connector.

Let’s get started fixing your HP 15-af123cl’s optical drive!
