Cd drive wont close
« on: October 07, 2006, 02:54:33 PM »
Hello ,

I recently installed a optical drive in my computer. It came from an old pc. It's a Aopen CRW5232 drive. It runs the default XP drivers, but they worked perfectly fine. The drive can't close the CD tray, even when empty. It closes, waits 2 secs then reopens. Can anyone help me ?

It is most likely broken or something is obstructing the CD tray. Have you tried operating it without the IDE cable? Does that result in the same behaviour?
