Hi there
I was wondering if anyone could offer me any inciteful advice into a problem I have with my laptop (Fujitsu Siemens Amilo L7300).
My DVD-RW/CD-RW drive is going through phases of functionality. For the most part it is fine, but then from time to time it stops working. By this I mean the eject button doesn't work, and when I use the manual eject and insert a disc it can't read it. It fact it doesn't even try.
The Windows Device Manager can't find any fault with it, and opening up the drive in My Computer during one of the faulty phases just brings up an empty screen, as though there is an empty, unnamed disk in the drive, instead of the 'Insert Disk' prompt you'd expect.
Invariably this fault combines perfectly with Sod's Law so that whenever I actually NEED to use the drive it ceases to work.
Is this just a case of a faulty drive, or is there something else I'm missing?
Thanks
Ben
