Opinion: What are signs of a faulty dvd drive?
Well, there are many signs of a dodgy dvd drive, some well known, some not so well known. In this faq I am going to go over some of the causes briefly.
__________________Really slow to boot-up pc. - This may seem like an odd one but if you are having really slow boot-up times then it could be the reason. DVD drive not reading DVDs DVD:RW failing to write DVDs DVD drive exploded DVD drive on fire (or starts to smoke) DVD drive invisible *hint, you may have to buy one* DVD drive fails to open - You may want to do the manual way of how to get into it by using something very small but firm (like a paper clip) to press in the pinhole in front of the drive to open the tray. Being unable to get into My Computer/other things. DVD drive lense dirty DVD drive not being recognized by windows/whatever/bios Whilst playing/installing a game to randomly die on you Bug stuck in dvd drive DVD getting no power *make sure you have plugged it in* Thats all I can think of now, feel free to suggest more.
