DVD-R reset problems
« on: May 03, 2005, 10:54:51 PM »
Good day, I'm hoping that someone here will be able to help me out...

I have Sony DRU-510A DVD-R drive within a tower running WinXp. The Bios recognizes the drive... WinXP recognizes the drive...
The issue is that the orange light is constantly blinking. There is no disc in tray for it to read (the tray is currently open). How this problem came to be was I was doing a DVD copy when it errored out and I had to manually eject the disc. Ever since then the drive won't allow me to reset it.

I'm going nuts over here trying to figure out how to fix this problem...
I've uninstalled the driver and rebooted my system thinking it would reset the rom drive...
I've disconnected the cables from the rom drive and reconnected them thinking it would reset the rom drive...
I am at my wits end here...
I have gone into Explorer and right-click ejected the E: drive (the drive the dvd-r is installed) without any sort of reaction from the device...

Hints? Tips? Suggestions? Anything... please...

Many thanks in advance...

If tray is jammed open, it's broken.  Push it closed.  If it still doesn't work, it dead.
