Re: cd-rom problem by nibbleguru on May 20th, 2003 12:53:09 AM
This maybe due to many reasons. The most common reason though is dust.
Use a good quality CD lens cleaner.
If that doesn't help take the cd drive to your vendor for checkup/servicing to identify any other problem it may have.
Sounds silly but... by Anonymous Ghost on May 25th, 2003 07:34:01 PM
Sounds still but check the cables are all in correctly. I built a computer for someone last week and it all worked, then I went inside and turned down the fan, and all of a sudden the cd drive opened, but wouldn't work. I then thought I might have knocked the cable and I had, it was out slightly. So check the cables.
cd-rw drive locking os winME run msconfig by Anonymous Ghost on June 14th, 2003 12:00:46 PM
cd-rw drive locking seemed to be cured by restoring system from start menu run msconfig, and resetting normal boot.
I had already tried scanreg /restore, reinstalled samsung driver and used system restore.

faulty cd rom device by dave194 on September 21st, 2003 02:47:14 PM
If it plays music then the power supply and small 3 wire cable to the sound card is ok. I suggest that the 25 wire ribbon cable is unplugged or not fully pushed in to its slot. Try the mother board end as well.

CD ROM NOT WORKING by stymied on October 18th, 2003 10:36:36 AM
I had to install a modem on my computer. when I went to open the cd rom for the installation, my cd rom will not work. The green light flashes on but the door will not open. I tried to put a pin in the small hole under the door, but that won't work either. What could be the problem? It shows up on "my computer", and I have hit the properties button for "eject" thinking it might open but it hasn't. What could be the problem? I have reopened the computer and checked the connections and they all look fine.

Re: cd-rom problem by Anonymous Ghost on November 09th, 2003 06:16:18 PM
My CD-ROM tray opens and closes by itself every few minutes, 24 hours a day. The only way to stop it is to shut down the system. Again, when I turn my computer back on, the problem returns. "LG CD-ROM CRD-8480C" is my CD-ROM. Why is this happening and what should I do to fix the problem?
Re: cd-rom problem by Anonymous Ghost on November 09th, 2003 09:52:22 PM

Use McAffee or Norton or AVG Antivirus to do the scan.

Re: cd-rom problem by Anonymous Ghost on January 29th, 2004 06:58:47 AM
It's also a good thing to check if your power supply is still okay and giving the right ampere output for the 12V and 5V rails.

Mine had a problem like this and it seemed that 19A on the 5V rail was not enough... a HEC-350VD-T solved the problem with 33A on the 5V rail.

Re: cd-rom problemToshiba DVD-ROM/CDRW SD-R2312 problem by Anonymous Ghost on March 14th, 2004 08:28:01 PM
Dear all,

I have been using my laptop with the aforementioned DVD player for a few months now woth no problems, but in the last few days it refuses to read some DVDs - saying

"Windows cannot read from this disk. The disk might be corrupted, or it could be using a format that is not compatible with windows"

I repeat - this only happens with certain DVDs, e.g. my LOTR TT extended version original DVDs, while others work perfectly well. I am using Power DVD, but I cannot read some DVDs at all, even from explorer.

Anyone have any idea what might be the problem.

I recently installed SuSE Linux on my laptop, but I seriously do not think that is the problem.

Please any thoughts???

Vedad.

Re: cd-rom problem by Anonymous Ghost on November 23rd, 2004 07:26:18 AM
For all those with the GCR-8523B driver issue. The reason you cannot find a driver is because they do not exist. The driver is built into the product. Windows uses plug and play technology to get the driver from the device.

I hope that helps a little bit.

I dont know why but all of a sudden I cannot read from my A drive or my CD drive. If i boot using the A drive it will read the A drive and the CD drive (as in start computer with CD ROM support) but not when I am in windows.

If I use NERO, it will see the drive and burn to it, if I use InCD, it will see the drive and burn to it, I just can't read or access the drive.

Any ideas?
