OT My DVD drive is possesed

[UK_Widowmaker 571]

Really weird goings on!

 

It's the only IDE device in the computer..and the other day, it stopped reading any CD's/DVD's.

 

I couldn't open the drive door, without using the hole and Pin method....now, the drawer opens by itself at random times...totally without warning.

 

Gonna get a new one, and have this one exorcised and burned at the stake!

Sounds like it is preparing to go to the DVD reader in the sky...

You could check, if the cables are attached firmly.

Maybe also use Windows repair function?

I had strange problems after using TuneUp Utilities' 1-Click-TuneUp function.

Now a friend told me never to use that one function. The others are good, but

this one does stupid things every now and then, it seems.

It's hardware, not software. It's ready to commend its soul to the drivers maker.

Be careful with the TuneUp kind utilities.

They tend to fix some problems but at the expense of creating new ones. Yes like life.

Yeah, I'll be careful - thanks, von Paulus!

One of my drives did just that the other day, UK, but seems to be OK now after I gave it a stiff talking to . It'll be on it's way out soon I guess.

I feel your pain WM. Once the old one has finally surrendered it's microcircuitry soul to the God Of All Things Computer and you've replaced it, there is one final act to perform on it's mortal remains.

 

PULL!

 

 

Honestly, it would want to be sent off that way.
