Well, After a bit more experimenting, I got it to read a disc once by holding the machine upside down. It came up with the title of the book but no more. Same on mains and battery. I remember thinking a few months ago that the drive was noisy but that seemed to sort itself out. Looks like I need to spend some money this time. So, where do I send it for repairs, rnib? It came from them.
