CD Drive Stuck by Eddie on 12-18-2008 at 02:39 AM

Hey guys,

Unfortunately, after my party last night someone decided to have a little go on my computer, and as i come to insert a disk into it today the disk tray will not open and the green light is continually flashing, the button doesnt work at all, so any suggestions?

I turn 17 tomorrow, and yes, there was beer, vodka and bourbon lol.

Little hole, care to elaborate please? I need it so its fixed, not just to open it.

Ok i got the drive open, but simply the button no longer works to close the drive when the system is running, if i am quick enough upon boot before the system starts kicking in i can open/close the drive, otherwise the green active light remains on and the buttons do not work :(

if it came with the pc, try checking the manufacture of the computer website

could try a simple add hardware, see if windows will install the hardware its self, but i doubt it, if you're saying it doesn't appear in device manager
RE: CD Drive Stuck by Voldemort on 12-18-2008 at 04:39 AM

remove it from dev manager and restart? perhaps windows has the required driver

infact bios should tell you what make it is, well at least give the model.

restart your pc, start bios, take down the details, search google
RE: CD Drive Stuck by Eddie on 12-18-2008 at 05:12 AM

Ok after a look through the bios i decided to take a look inside of my case, and it appeared that the power cord was not completely plugged in, i'm not sure exactly why this was the case but it now works properly, thanks guys :)
