Cdrw Broke

[dudevenezuela]

My CD Burner It's broke ! It won't open when u push the button eject.
:helpsmile: You can open and close it by Yourself but it won't read the CD.

How do u fix this? Should I tried opening the CDRW by Myself to check for the ejecting mechanism or what?

when you right click on the drive and select eject does the drive open...You could also try searching for a firmware upgrade for the drive..if it opens....If your looking for a new drive have a look at this site cdfreaks.com for some reviews and comments..With the price of drives coming down so fast maybe its time for a dvd burner (i'm partial to liteon myself sohw812s@832s)

same thing happened to my cd-rw, it just died. it wouldnt read any discs or anything. i just upgraded to a dvd-rw and i love it! i wouldy strongly suggest upgrading to a dvd-rw, its well worth it.

Yeah mattescas drive broke also...for no apparent reason...YEAH RIGHT

He kinda ripped it off the track and then it all just fell apart. But you can get one for $30 now so I wouldnt worry really.
