My DVD reader is stuck with its light on.

[Frank Martin]

I have XPpro and again my "Diamond Digital"
DVD reader is sealed shut with its light on.

Why does this happen; how can I check to fix
this problem.

Also its drive (G has disappeared from
WindowsExplorer.

Please help, Frank

Bad cable? Dirty disc in the tray?

Can you eject the disc right at boot while the memory count is happening?

Thanks, I rebooted and the drive opened while
booting up. There was an old DVD in the
drive and all seems OK now. But time will
tell. Regards, Frank
