    DVD Burner BAD or NOT?
    « on: January 28, 2008, 12:11:21 PM »
    I have a DVD  burner Lite-on it corp.  I was useing it as a dual burner.  Suddenly it had stopped working an the LED light on it doesn't come on.  Is the Drive shot?  Could it be repaired?

    If I fall who is there to pick me up now.  I stand alone but I stand as the gaurdian for whom I wish to protect.  The sound of my blade utters my name as you fall.  For I shall not move.  For those that forsake the very people are wosres

      Does it show up in the Device Manager or My Computer?  Have you checked the power cable running to the burner?   
      Why is this thus?  What is the reason for this thusness?

      The best way to find out is to try it on another working computer.

          I've already got it replaced. Just wanted to know if it was fixable.
