-- Posted by Spasty at 9:41 pm on Jan. 20, 2007 My CD drive rarely opens on the first try. It usually takes me 10+ pushes of the button to open it. How can I fix this? -- Posted by Powbang at 9:42 pm on Jan. 20, 2007 get a new one -- Posted by AtomicCactus at 9:42 pm on Jan. 20, 2007 On older CD drives, I just grab the tray and pull it out when it is having trouble. -- Posted by Spasty at 9:43 pm on Jan. 20, 2007 Quote: from AtomicCactus at 12:42 am on Jan. 21, 2007 On older CD drives, I just grab the tray and pull it out when it is having trouble. It never leaves, really. It makes a few sounds, and then stops. -- Posted by silverwolf260 at 9:45 pm on Jan. 20, 2007 its probably jammed at one of the corners -- Posted by emmy350 at 9:45 pm on Jan. 20, 2007 I agree, or just get it fixed. -- Posted by Macropiper at 10:23 pm on Jan. 20, 2007 Buy a new one, they are relatively cheap, can get a Dual Layer DVD burner for under $90 NZD. DVD or CD readers that don't burn discs are even cheaper. -- Posted by espresso8097 at 11:51 pm on Jan. 20, 2007 You can get DL DVDRW drive in the USA for as low as $30USD these days.
