Laptop's DVD \ CD Rom stopped working..

**EDPB** · 06-Oct-2006, 06:58 AM

Im using a laptop with a CD \ DVD Rom, and all of a sudden, just when I was about to burn a CD, it stopped working..
Its not any of the prob's listen in the XP troubleshooter, it's status says that its ok and everything else looks fine, and it is listed as a device etc, all good.
But When I instert a CD or DVD it doesn't register that its there, it just goes on as if nothing has happened, even tho the light at the cd\dvd rom flashes as if it registered it..

Any ideas?

hmm, laptop cd/dvd drives have allways much problems, i got same problem with my Medion laptop, first of all you can check if there's any guarantee still on it, cos then u can send it back and they'll fix it for free
2nd, which might help, before putting in the disc, push the laser to the most outside, then put the dvd/cd in and try, that trick works for my laptop
