CD/DVD drive keeps on opening and closing automatically.

Hi, I just got my computer today and hooked it up. The first time I hit the 'power' button after having everything hooked up, the CD/DVD drive started making this clunking noise and then procceded to open and close, open and close numerous times. Since it was the first time I had turned on my PC, I let it go until I had Windows set up and etc. After I had Windows set up, I restarted my computer and it did the same thing. It would make the clunking noise and on my screen there would be a blinking _ until I came to the login screen.
Anyone else have this problem with their BRAND NEW, first time turning it on, PC?

Well it just keeps getting better... the other HP, I bought does the same thing!!!! both the same model... but I bought 2, one for home and one for work..
I decided to setup the one for work at home... so I took it out of the box just now... fired it all up and lo and behold... the CD DOOR just popped open... then closed... then opened... then closed.. then finally stayed open.
I look at the post, that said maybe the "plastic front bezel" thingy was pushing against the button.. but it is not.
I removed the side panel.. then in the front, i pulled back on the 3 tabs that hold the front bezel on, and removed the bezel, then started the computer, and tada.... the door STILL OPENS AND CLOSES...
And when the door closes... the "sound" it makes, and by looking at the drive.. is like, it goes in, then makes a sound as the CD DOOR tries to come out a little bit... then goes back in, like 1/8th of an inch... then opens completely..
WEIRD...
An obivious problem with HP's choice of CD rom drive....
Anyone else???????

Portege R935-ST3N02 with Windows 8 DVD Drive won't open and doesn't appear in Explorer

I have seen posts concerning this problem under Windows 7, but my new laptop came with Windows 8. The button on the DVD drive will not open it. I can force it open using the paper clip hole, but the computer does not recognize any CD or DVD that I put in the drive. Anyone have ideas on what I should do?

Turn off your laptop, unplug all wires, remove the battery, and hold the power button for thirty seconds. Afterwards, reattach the battery and connections.
If that doesn't work, check if it's listed in the Device Manager.
Windows key + x > Device Manager > DVD/CD-ROM drives
If it is listed there, try right-clicking it and selecting "Uninstall." Then reboot your computer and see if it works.

The inspector keeps auto opening and closing. It's making it near impossible to use firefox.

I simply cannot get the inspector to stop opening. I've tried some steps listed through other support posts regarding disabling the inspector and firebug, but neither of those worked. I'm writing this up in chrome at the moment. The only way I can stop it from doing what it's doing is by holding either Shift, Control, or Alt. I've checked to see if these keys were stuck or somehow going off on their own, but they aren't. I've even restarted my computer and this is still happening. Any help would be appreciated.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Since upgrading my iphone 4 to IOS6, apps keep opening and closing on their own

Since upgrading my iphone 4 to IOS6, apps keep opening and closing on their own and the wrong ones open when another is pressed. I've tried a full reset but still the same thing...HELP PLEASE :-(

I'm not familiar with the Belkin cover, but you could try removing the cover and reboot the iPad and see how that goes.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

HT4528 the camera on my iPhone 4s color is all weird and the shutter keeps opening and closing trying to fix its self but cant. I rest my phone and turned it off and back on again.. how do i fix this. I only had the phone maybe six months.

The camera on my iPhon 4s is not working correctly. It is colored all strange and the shutter keeps opening and closing trying to fix the problem but it cant. I have already reset my phone and turned it off and on again. How do I fix this??

If resetting the camera app doesn't work you can try restoring your iPhone's software. The entire process takes about an hour to an hour and a half. Make sure you do a backup. Make sure you do a backup.

Help, DVD Driver keeps ejecting DVD and requesting a Blank, I insert a Blank and the same message keeps coming up, any suggestions ?

DVD Driver keeps ejecting DVD and requesting a Blank, I insert a Blank and the same message keeps coming up, any suggestions ?

Hi
a. You are using Cheap media as Memorex, NoName etc DVDs - I only use Verbatim
b. You use a DL-DVD or DVD+/-RW type of media - Old Macs can not use DL-DVDs - I only use DVD-R
c. Your DVD-burner needs a cleaning - Cleaning DVD without liquid but the brush type
d. Is there OK free space on Your Start-Up (Macintosh HD) hard disk - I never go less than 25Gb free.
e. Can You describe the material used to create Your DVD
- Video Codec/s
- Photo file formats
- Audio file formats
iDVD can not use all but only a few of them - still it tries and then often fails
Just to start by.
Yours Bengt W

My first generation ipad keeps opening and closing my apps what should I do?

try updating to ios 5.1.1
if the problem continues perform a back up and then restore
Go to settings>icloud>storage and back up>back up
or back it up to a computer
after that preform a restore by going to
general>reset>erase all content and settings
this will delete everything except the enabled stuff on icloud.
You can view whats enabled by going to icloud in settings.

How can detect that cdrom drive were opened and closed?

How can detect that cdrom drive were opened and closed?

I'm sure there are more elegant and complicated ways to accomplish this using Windows SDK function calls to kernel32.dll or something extravagant like that, but if you want the bare-bones easy way to check if the CD-ROM tray is currently opened, then simply use System Exec to query the CD-ROM drive from the command line. One example of this is shown below.
Use the command line function cmd /c d:, where d: is your CD-ROM drive. If the Standard Error output from System Exec.vi is "The device is not ready." followed by a carraige return and line feed, then voila, your CD-ROM drive is open. If not, it's closed. Anyone have a better idea? I'm sure one exists...

CD/DVD Drive Randomly Pops Open

My CD/DVD drive keeps randomly popping open. Usually right after I turn the laptop on and randomly from there on out.
hp pavilion dv6-7043cl entertainment notebook Windows 7, 64-Bit
No error messages. No changes to the system have been made.

Hi,
Is your notebook still in warranty?
Your description of the problem sounds like a failing CD\DVD drive.
Best regards,

Satellite L500-126 - CD/DVD drive does not open very smoothly

Hi,
I just got my second Satelite L500-126.
I exchanged my first one for a new one because the ESC key got stuck sometimes and made a squeaking sound.
Now with my new one, I noticed that my dvd drive does not open very smoothly and 2 little silver metal bars come out with the drive when I open it.
Is this normal?
Also, when I close the dvd drive i hear a little "ping!" sound.
Like a spring or something. Is this also normal?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Im not quite sure what you mean by 2 little silver metal bars but my notebooks drive contains two metals (runners, trackage).
This is normal and these parts are important to ensure that the drive could eject properly and could stay in right position.
You will always hear an short click opening and closing the drive.
So I assume this is ok.

DVD drive keeps initializing

Hi, I have an dv6 1149wm, and the DVD drive keeps initializing like when you pop it open and close it without putting anything in the drive. It makes a fast spinning noise and shuts up. I've updated all drivers and bios per hp's support assistant, but I didn't see any updates for the dvd drive. Any clues before I take it back? I already know HP will want to see it and I'll not have my laptop for weeks on end while they replace the drive... Running windows 7

There wasn't an early 2012 13" MacBook Pro - what you may have purchased in early 2012 was a late 2011 13" MacBook Pro.
If you're still under warranty - if it's not been one year past your purchase date - you can take you machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them fix the problem. If you're out of your one year warranty - and didn't buy the AppleCare extended warranty - it may cost you to have the drive 'fixed' (I guessing that it will have to be replaced).
Good luck,
Clinton

7344 servo motion switching between open and closed loop operation

I have a custom end-of-line test system presently using a 4-axis 7344 servo controller to perform various functional tests on small, brushed DC motors. The system is programmed in C/C++ and uses flex motion functions to control the motor during testing. Motors are coupled to external encoder feedback and third party PWM drives running in closed-loop torque mode from an analog command signal. The system uses all four motion axis channels on the 7344 board to independently and asynchronously test up to four production motors at a time.
In closed-loop mode, the system runs without issue, satisfying the battery of testing protocols executed by this system. I now have a request to add additional test functionality to the system. This testing must be run in open loop mode. Specifically, I need to use my +/- 10v analog output command to my torque drive to send different DAC output levels to the connected motor.drive while monitoring response.
I do not believe the flex motion library or 7344 controller includes functions to easily switch between open and closed loop mode without sending a new drive configuration. I am also under the impression that I cannot reconfigure one (or more) servo controller axis channels without disabling the entire drive. As my system runs each axis channel in an asynchronous manner, any requirement to shutdown all drives each time I change modes is an unworkable solution.
I am open to all ideas that will allow asynchronous operation of my 4 motor testing stations. If the only solution is to add a second 7344 controller and mechanical relays to switch the drive and motor wiring between two separately configured servo channels, so be it. I just want to explore any available avenue before I place a price tag on this new system requirement.
Bob

Jochen,
Thank you for the quick response. The 7344 board does an excellent job running my manufacturing motor assemblies through a custom end-of-line tester in closed loop mode. A portion of the performance history and test result couples the motor through a mechanical load and external shaft. The shaft is in contact with a linear encoder that closes my servo loop.
My new manufacturing requirement is to also sample/document how the small DC motor behaves in open loop operation. Your solution is exactly what I need to perform the additional functional tests on the product I am manufacturing. I see no reason why this cannot work. I was originally concerned that I would need to reinitialize the 7344 board after changing axis configuration. Initialization is a global event and impacts all four channels on the 7344 board.
Using flex_config_axis() to change axis configuration on a single channel without disturbing other potentially running axis channels will solve my concern. It will be several weeks before I can return to the manufacturing facility where the 7344-based testing machine is located. I will update this thread once I verify a successful result.

Opening and closing periods in FI

Dear FICO experts,
Just a quick question regarding OB52.
We have only 1 company code, can we use the same posting period variant in mulitple line items for the combination ALL account types and a range of periods that are open?
Posting period variant:0000
Account Type: +
Period from: 1
Year:2001
Period to: 12
Year: 2011
Posting period variant:0001 (continue making new posting period variants for all account types as needed)
Account Type: +
Period from: 1
Year:2012
Period to: 12
Year: 2012
OR
Do we just adjust the one line item: example below
Posting period variant:0000
Account Type: +
Period from: 1
Year:2001
Period to: 12
Year: 2011 (keep ajdusting this one line item whenever we need to open new periods for all account types)
Thanks, Deb
Moderator: Company code is assigned to one variant; so the question is irrelevant

Hi,
The Posting Period Variant is just defined once and is not year dependent.
The second option that you maintained is the way how the Posting Periods are maintained.
Against the Same Posting period variant, you can have your open and closed periods and years maintained year after year.
Generally, you keep only 1 period in a year open, the current period, and at the most 2-3 periods in some cases, and that you can easily maintain in Range.
Hope this clarifies..
Regards,
SAPFICO

Opening and Closing Sessions...

What is the suggested practice for opening and closing communication
sessions in an application. Do use viOpenDefaultRM at the beginning and use
this as a global object or do we use good object oriented design practice
and use viOpenDefaultRM and then use viOpen to open communication in a local
set of varibles in the function or sub and then close both objects before
exiting.
Please comment,
Gary

You may do whichever you prefer.
Each instrument class I create does it's own OpenDefaultRM and keeps the return value internally.
I know many people who do not use object oriented languages and simply keep the DefaultRM value in a global variable.
As far as the recommended practice, I don't know of any official recommendation regarding this detail.
