Hi, since I got my shiney new Compaq Presario F700 laptop the cd/dvd drive keeps popping open. Well not since i got it but shortly after i got it. It is only functional if I keep my laptop on a flat surface.
Ive messed around with it a little to find out what actually is making it open. My drive it on the right side so when ever i push down on the top of the right side or type on that side hard, it will pop open. Also when i open the drive and put it back it usually pops back out. When I push in a little hard it will pop out too.
So far I've done windows update, spyware/anti-virus/CCleaner, updated cd drive, uninstalled and reinstalled cd drive,and checked connection. Nothing has helped. Its not too much of a problem though becuase whenever I need to use it I can just put it on a flat surface and try not to press down. When its not on a flat surfave I keep it taped shut.
Please help!
