DVD drive light on Satellite M50 does not turning OFF, drive not reading CDs/DVDs

Hello,
I have a Satellite M50-mx5 with a Mat****a DVD drive. When I insert CDs or DVDs, the drive starts up, spins the CD around (the light is blinking)...but a few seconds later, the drive stops spinning, but the DVD drive light remains on.
Windows also thinks that the DVD drive is empty.
I also tried to boot Windows from CD when the computer starts up, but with no success either.
Any ideas to what's wrong? Is my DVD drive broken?
Thanks
Eli

Hi
Sorry to said it but in my opinion the drive is dead and only the replacement can helps to get the drive functionality back.
But be aware that not every drive is supported and can be used with the notebook!
Take a look into the user manual. Sometimes the compatible drives are listed.
And its useful to known that all parts can be ordered from the ASP in your country.
have a nice weekend ;)

  • IPhone 5 submerged in water, but did not turn off/will not turn off. Best course of action?

    My iPhone 5 was just in the sink under running water and mostly submerged for a few seconds. It stayed on with all buttons working, clear screen and clear camera lens. I have tried to turn it off, but every time I try it reboots. I removed the SIM - it was completely dry, but since I can't see the inside I'm assuming there's definitely moisture in there.
    I currently have it in an airtight bag with silica gel, and I'm planning to leave it for a day or two, but it's still on. Should I keep trying to turn it off, or is it better for me to just leave it? I don't have the necessary equipment to remove the battery, unfortunately.

    Last attempt to turn phone off actually did turn the phone off. Not going to touch it for a day or two, and hoping for the best.

  • This is rediculous (ipod not turning off, itunes not working)

    I got the Ipod about two months ago (so still relatively new) and today when i went to charge my ipod and put my new music on there, the ipod froze at the do not disconnect screen, then I noticed my itunes hadn't recognized it was plugged in. So i disconnected my ipod yet it still says do not disconnect.
    So I plugged it back in and it said there was a corrupt file and it would clean it up, and then it froze, so nothing was fixed, now it won't recognize it again no matter how many times i disconnect it, and my ipod won't turn off.
    Any suggestions?

    Now it says my ipod is corrupt (it was fine 15 minutes ago) and i try to restore the original settings and it says "There was a problem downloading the Ipod software for for the Ipof "iPod". The requested resource was not found."

  • HP PSC 1500 printer all lights blinking and will not turn off.

    HP PSC 1500 printer all lights blinking and will not turn off. I had just put a print cartridge in and the problems started. All lights began blinking including the on/off. The on/off button would nor respond. (just kept blinking)
    I opened the printer door and the cartridges did not move back to the right so they could be examined.

    I understand that you are having an issue with your printer, and certain lights are blinking. I have included the document 'Blinking Lights'. This document will take you through the different combination of lights that are blinking, as well as steps to provide a solution.
    If this does not resolve the issue, please let me know exactly what lights are blinking.
    Please let me know if this resolves your issue, thank you.

  • Flash light will not turn off

    My Ip hone 4s flash light is on and willl not turn off. Battery is dead, Light is still on. Phone did not get wet. Does any one have suggestions?I am not due for a new phone!!! help!!!

    If axeman1020 post does not work this issue has happened alot. The best thing to do is backup your phone and restore it. This will tell weather its a software or hardware issue. If problem still remains then i would look into getting it repaired through an apple store or apple support.

  • Light will not turn off after installing new cyano cartridge

    Light will not turn off after new cyano cartridge installed

    I suspect that the ones that say they will work with Windows 8 on the box.  If it does not say that, check the maunfacturer's website.  They eventually will have to give Windows 8 support for the new cards or loose out to the competitors cards.

    The safe boot more or less resets system files.
    When it is something in the hardware:
    1.do the Pram and the SMC resets:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    2. shutdown the mac and startup while holding the ALT(option) key: choose the Recovery Disk, from the window choose Disk Utility, select the Lion disk, choose "repair disk".
    When it is not a hardware problem:
    3. List the applications you installed in the last 6 months, also the ones from the Appstore.
    4. List the plugins (extensions) you have in Safari.

  • Screen does not turn off near my ear

    The screen backlight does not turn off when you place it near your ear. Anyone else have this problem?

    What I found, especially with my Boxwave case (that iLounge didn't give high marks for), was that if you hold the earhole up directly to your ear, the screen does turn off.
    I checked and rechecked it in the mirror, and if I deviate a few cm higher or lower, then no, it won't. But if it's right up to my ear, then it does.
    By the way, I love the Boxwave case. The leather foldover protects the screen when sitting in my brief case.

  • What do I do when iPad 3 does not turn off?

    What do I do when my iPad 3 does not turn off?

    Try a device reset:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • Sound does not turn off when switching between AppTabs, ie Pnadora to other radio stations

    I have several radio stations (Pandora, NPR, etc) as Apps Tabs, but the sound does not turn off from one when switching to another.

    Thank you. This is precisely the type of solution I was looking for.
    My home network is set up with a single router that assigns DHCP addresses and does the NAT to the internet. This router does not have wireless. Its location is too out of the way (given where Comcast brought the line in) to be any good at wireless broadcast. So I installed two access points on the wired network.
    I had vaguely known something about using the same SSID on the multiple base stations but I had also heard of difficulties a university reported having some years ago.
    In any case I made the switch and it works great. I get full bars on the icon on the menu bar as I walk around the house. Exactly what I was looking for and no manual intervention once I set it up.
    Thank you.

  • Does not turn off my ipad

    does not turn off my ipad2. The circle is flashing not to

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
