CD/DVD Drive Error.

Zachshalak · 09-18-2009, 08:11 AM

After booting up my laptop, i realized in my computer my CD/DVD drive wasnt showing up, so i checked the device manager and it had a yellow exclamation point by it. I tried to update the drivers for it but it said i already had the most recent ones, i tried uninstalling and rebooting but it only had the same thing upon reboot. The drive is called TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L632M ATA Device. Any Idea how i can fix this? Would it be caused by some cable or cord loose inside? Also similarly at the same time, i notice there was another exclamation point in the device manager next to SCSI/RAID Host Controller, i have no idea what it is so if anyone could explain and give my some tips on how to fix these that would be great. thanks in advance!

You can try this but it sounds like a failed drive. Laptop optical drives are generally not very reliable and are prone to early failure.

okay so guys i need some help. My laptop doesnt boot up UNLESS the CD Drive is open. Is there anything specific that can cause it? is it fixable? is it something wrong with the motherboard or anything expensive. thanks in advance.
