GyroGearloose Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 I've been doing a lot of ripping lately, and once in a while, the stupid LG drive refuses to eject the disk. You can play the CD, but software eject or pressing the front panel does nothing. It's not a specific disc or action that causes this. It just happens. Quitting SS has no effect. Rebooting sometimes works but sometimes I have to use the eject hole.... The worst part is the CD can play the disc, pressing eject just causes the CD to see the disc as being re-inserted. Has anyone else seen this? (Don't ask me to replicate this, I just yanked the drive out of the PC and threw it agaisnt the wall. There's no excuse whatsoever in 2004 for a CD drive to behave like this and I don't want any part of hardware that refuses to acknowledge a user request. CD drive firmware is not climate simulation, folks. You get an interrupt, you service it....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jadeclaw Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Throwing a cd-drive against the wall is not recommended. First, it leaves ugly dents, second, cleaning the drive-closed switch inside the drive would have fixed the problem. It takes usually 5 to 15 minutes to fix it. Oh, and often it is enough to pull out and plug the power connector back into the drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
