slimtype dvdrw-ssm-8515s ATA Device Stopped Reading disks
Hi everyone! Maybe somone will be able to help me out! I have a aspire 5610z notebook with Vista on it! About a year ago i had to do a complete reboot on it! Well when i did my slimtype dvdrw-ssm-8515s ATA Device quit reading cds or dvds! Now when i check the device manger it tells me the drive is working properly! What I really wanted to know is if my drive is DEAD!!!!!!!!!! When I put a cd in it starts up and sounds normal spinning, nothing ginding or out of the ordinary except it will just continue to stop and spin stop and spin like its not finding anything on the cd! It does this to both cd's and dvds. My computer is only 2 yrs old now and i thought my drive would last longer than that! Is it possible the driver is not correct! or did the laser lens burn up! I don't know! If I have to replace the drive what should I replace it with! I can't find anything on the manufactures website that can tell me where or what to buy. I would like to know what its gonna cost to repair! or if i can do it myself! If anyone has any ideas please let me know! -- Aaron Dorner |

slimtype dvdrw-ssm-8515s ATA Device Stopped Reading disks
Hey I think ive got the same problem - my Acer Aspire 9300 has been fine for about 2 years or so but now the DVD-RW drive will only read/write CD-ROM/CD-Rs. I am suspecting its the laser. -- no1 Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |
