[SOLVED] CD/DVD Drive in Laptop not working

Amnesia_180 · 09-17-2007, 01:33 PM

Hi All...

I have an Acer 5633 WLMi and just recently the CD/DVD Drive in my laptop has stopped working.

If I go into the Device Manager, it has an exclamation mark by it and gives the following error:

"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"

I've "uninstalled" the drive, and re-installed, but it does so with errors.

It's a Slimtype DVDRW SSM-8515S

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Amnesia

Hi,

When did this start happening? If it is a recent issue , then I would perform a system restore to a couple days before this became an issue. The steps for using the System Restore are detailed here.
