Hello Alfred
As far as I know the small control light appear just if the drive is in use. In your case it is on constantly and in my opinion there is some problem with the device. Like Ivan already said try to remove it from device manager and let the system detect it again.
I am pretty sure that warranty is still valid and you should contact service partner in your country. Let them check the unit.
Bye

  • CD/DVD drive Acoustic Silencer does not work on Satellite P100-194

    Satellite P100-194 (Win XP MCE, Bios-Version 2.20)
    Since there is excessive vibrating of the DVD-Multi-Drive with some of my DVDs and CDs, I would like to use the Acoustic Silencer, but theres no difference between Silent Mode and Normal Mode.
    I have already tried to reinstall the Acoustic Silencer Tool, without success. Since this problem is starting to get really annoying, any help would be appreciated.
    I wonder if the built-in DVD-multi-drive is that sensitive by default (sometimes the entire notebook starts vibrating combined with a very high noise level when reading a dvd) ?
    Thanks in advance !

    Hi WB,
    I believe the Acoustic Silencer simply limits the rate at which information can be obtained from the CD/DVD with the intention of preventing the very high speed rotation that can sometimes occur when ripping CDS or DVDs to the hard drive. If you are simply watching DVDs (or listening to CDs for that matter) then the drive speed will not be particularly high since once the read buffer is full then there is no need to read any more data from the disc itself. If you watch the drive LED you will see that it only lights intermittently.
    The drive speed will decrease during playback as the laser reads the information from the outside portion of the disc surface.
    The presence of noise and vibration normally indicates that the disc is 'eccentric' or is not clamped centrally in the drive, and this can indicate a possible problem with the clamping mechanism itself. However, it is always worth checking that the centre hole in the disc itself has no burrs or pieces of materila that would throw it off-centre, and it is also worth checking if the disc label (assuming it is a stick-on paper type) is properly attached and has no buckles or air bubbles in it since this can also cause noise.
    I have experience of a couple of CD-ROM game discs which cause a lot of noise and vibration in my notebook and on checkin I found that the centre hole was very slightly offset.
    regards,

    USB Drives works, but does not show up in "Safely Remove Hardware"
    Here are my symptom
    - USB Flash Drives , USB External HDD works normally
    - I can see them in "My Computer"
    - I can open "Safely Remove Hardware" via Run Command, but there is no device in the list
    - They show up as "Disk drives" in device manager
    - When I right click their icons in "My Computer", there is no option to "Eject" them
    - In "Disk Management", they show up as "Basic". Prior to this issue, they were "Removable"
    After I tested, it seems that my Vista detects every USB storage device as a normal HDD.
    I don't know why but I'd appreciate any help because I have to plug-in and remove those drives often, especially flash drives.
    Thank you

  • Publish to DVD says it completes, does not write the ISO file in version 13.

    When I publish to DVD and select ISO it says it completes but it does not write the ISO file in version 13.

    apsteinmetz
    The DVD disc which is labelled 4.7 GB/120 minutes is in reality 4.38 GB. And the DVD disc which is labelled 8.5 GB/240 minutes is in reality 7.95 GB.
    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running? Can we assume 13/13.1 on Windows 8.1 64 bit?
    What are you doing, a burn to disc DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen on DVD disc or burn to disc AVCHD on DVD disc?
    When you get to the burn dialog (and you have your disc in the burner tray), what does the Quality area of the burn dialog show for Space Required and Bitrate with and without a check mark next to "Fit Contents to Available Space"?
    Or, can you do burn to Folder (4.7 GB) and/or burn to ISO Image (4.7 GB)? Are your successful burn to .iso files under 1 GB in file size?
    Please quantitate "...shortening the timeline dramatically".
    Thank you. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • DVD will read but won't write A205-S5812

    My DVD drive will read and play but won't write. Device Manager says it is a Matshita UJ-850S. I have upgraded to XP Pro sp3 from vista. I suspect that it is a driver issue but I have searched and can't find one that makes it work.
    Has anyone else run into this? Any suggestions

    Not a driver issue, or it wouldn't even read.  You are missing the program required for disk writing that Toshiba suppiles with factory installs, but is lacking in commercial versions of Windows.  It is not available as a download, only as part of the factory image.  Since you changed to XP, You'll need to buy some disk writing software like Nero or Roxio.

  • Lightroom CC Import sees CF Card in reader but does not see any images, cannot import anything

    I have installed Lightroom CC.  It seems to work but if I connect a card reader with a CF card, while Lightroom sees the card, it sees no images.  I have to copy the files to a hard disk and import from there.  How do I fix this annoying problem?

    Hi drchevalier,
    You mean, you are able to import those files, if moved to hard drive but not able to view them when importing directly from the CF Card? Please attach a screenshot.
    If so, might be an issue with the card. Did you try reformatting the card in the camera itself and check? If not, might want to try that.
    Also, make sure your camera is in the Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras list. Else, you might not see it in Lr.

  • LaCie ext RW drive reads but won't write

    I want to burn something on the LaCie ext drive but it won't work. I've done it a ton of times before, but now any one of the multiple virgin CD discs that I put in (and am sure are correct and for writing) fail to show up on Toast. Also, on disc utility it says that the CD is for "read only" -- which ain't so! Think the drive just needs replaced?? (It's about 3-4 years old.) Thanks.

    Dear Cine Alter,
    If the two drives are appearing on your desktop that would suggest physical connections are OK. If you have not already done so, start up from you OSX CD and rebuild your directory. Then rebuild Permissions, Restart and see how you go. This process should clean up any directory corruptions which may be responsible for the problem. You should run both of these programs monthly to ensure corruptions do not creep into your system.
    If the problem persists restart from OSX CD and try un-mounting and re-mounting each disk with Disk First Aid. Restart and see how you go.
    Good Luck,
    Tony

  • Dv9000 laptop dvd drive and webcam not found. drive initializes on boot but does not show up.

    The DVD/CD-Rom drive will initialize and will read a CD when inserted but it does not show up in the BIOS or in Windows. It's a Lighscribe drive. The webcam was not found either. I recently reloaded this machine for a friend back to the factory setup. Installed all additional software and everything is working but the drive and the camera. Is there any way to actually test these devices for failure? Or is there a patch or a software package I may be missing? It's a dv9000 but it has dv9007 on the bottom. And an AMD processor.  If anybody has any ideas I would greatly appreciate the help.

    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    It does not show up in either one. The camera or the DVD drive.  No X's or error Triangles. I guess they could have gone bad at the same time but that's not likely. It would be one heck of a coiencidence. I am wondering if there is an alternate chipset driver or patch. Maybe a controller driver? The system has dv9000 on the display and dv9700 on the model # tag. I believe 1 is Inter and the other NVidia. But the Factory image installed the NVidia drivers.  

  • HP Pavilion DV7 2206TX - DVD drive reads DVDs but not CD's

    My HP Pavilion DV7 2206TX - DVD drive reads DVDs but not CD's.
    When I insert a CD, the drive tries very hard to read the CD but gives up after about a minute.
    I get no error message.  I do not see the Auto play message.
    Windows Explorer does not recognize the DVD drive.
    When I insert a DVD, I get the Autoplay menu, Windows Explorer recognize the drive and the DVD. I can play the DVD using any number of Video players.
    I would welcome advice relating this problem.

    your HP Pavilion needs a new DVD driver. I ran into many problems such as this when troubleshooting computers in school.
    A DVD drive should play CD at any time:  While a CD driver will not play a DVD disc. Do not think there is a problem with sofware because it will only throw your troubleshooting skills  out the window and it will confuse you.

  • My external LaCie drive gets an error message "the disc you inserted was not readable by this computer." The only options offered are "ignore" or "eject" Disk Utility sees the disc but does not give a repair option. What can I do?

    When I plug in my external LaCie drive I get an error message "the disc you inserted was not readable by this computer."
    The only options offered are "ignore" or "eject"
    Disk Utility sees the disc but does not give a repair option.
    What can I do?

    The good thing about mac-centric resellers such as OWC, is they have people on staff that can answer questions without you buying things first. They also have how-to information, and instructions are included in many of their products. I saw a link to watch a DIY video in one of their pages; an example of a RAID (with its own power supply) is shown on their drives page. Also a few in there, with no power supplies, for less money.
    If I were looking to backup and perhaps also have a partition for a system clone, I'd consider something like one of these: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
    Some ideas on the RAID backup methods appear in google search, some of the pages are ideas and concepts; and the better ones also warn about using RAID for the only backup plan.
    Oh, OWC has live chat. Haven't tried it, nor have I bought anything from them. I have what appears to be two products from them, but have not used either. One is in a box as-new, but has only USB2.0 ports & my Macs needed FW400/800. It has been said their RAM is a good way to upgrade, too. But I can't confirm!
    A 'RAID-ready' unit for backup may be more versatile for just that, but I have not checked into these details. I use single HDDs in powered enclosures, and usually manually make backup clones to FW drives, of bootable OS X systems. Some of the OWC raid-ready use eSATA ports so that may not be viable for a computer without them.
    The unused in-box external drive I have is like the base model in the link above. However mine is USB2.0 (maybe) and won't boot my older Macs due to hardware variance; and my preference would be for FireWire options, these models do offer that. But the one I have does not. Dual 500GB HDDs, and they could be used in tandem as a RAID. That would be a choice set up in software. I'm not sure and not interested enough to read up just now.
    My backup method is not automatic, or a moving backup plan, if I don't get a move-on and make full system clones. I do make copies of photos and documents the manual way, to USB external drives; and occasionally backup to DVD or CD media. And USB flash, that helps to move files between computers without need to use file sharing via wi-fi. {Like Why fly? Walking is better exercise unless one is a bird. Squawk!}
    https://www.google.com/#q=raid+backup+mac
    Depending on the ports in your Mac, you may be able to use other cables to attach between a backup or externally enclosed hard disk drive with multiple partition and bootable clone in one of them. Not sure about the Thunderbolt, and where that is the main port, adapters are required to access other devices, as allowed.
    Anyway, I am going on and on, yet not really saying anything.
    My ideas would not be all that interesting to follow as a backup
    plan when matching available newer hardware to task, but you
    can get some into better ideas if you are not in a rush. Get a
    good setup and then look into more an betterer stuff.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    it shows in the disk utilities but does not allow me to find a problem or fix the problem? Please help. also my external hard drive is a seagate free agent go, 500GB. it is visible on my tv but has no files in it… i'm scared i've lost everything?

    Honestly i cannot remember sorry, i got it like 5 maybe 6 yrs ago and just started downloading things to it as the memory on the computer started filling up and when i wanted to see photos/videos on my TV.
    My wife did tell me after i had written this post that she did try and record TV to it as it was plugged in. I think by doing so somehow has deleted everything.   It reads on my TV yet has no files in it but won't show up on my computer. hope this helps.
    Starting to think it is going to cost more to retrieve files on it than it will be to buy a newer and larger one.
