I have an old desktop PC with a vertical loading DVD tray. It was dark and I foolishly loaded a second dvd ontop of a dvd that was already in there. I pressed the button and the computer took them both in.
I soon realized that it wasn't reading anything. I didn't hear any grinding or crunching noises so it seems like the motor just didn't move. The icon did not identify any DVD Title either.
My question is: What happened inside? Did the extra width of 2 dvds (instead of one) jam the motor or did the motor just not start at all?
I'm not sure if anyone will know the answer. But I am curious as to the inner workings.
Would love to hear opinions. The dvd player seems to work fine now... with just one disk in it! But I am concerned I might have worn out the motor a bit by jamming it.
