T400 dvd rom can not be open...

I purchansed my t400 at the beginning of this month,model:27652KM.
 Just typed a report on the notebook. Resized disk C myself. 
 Rarely use the dvd  rom.
The disc loading dock can not be open....all the indicators seem ok.
Could someone give me some suggestion? I am in sydney. How can I contact for lenovo's support team??
Solved!
Go to Solution.

poptang, welcome to the forum,
please try the following: when you have shut down the system, remove and then replace the drive. Instructions can be found here. (I know they're for a T61, but it's the same method for a T400). Then at boot press F1 (for BIOS) or F12 (for Boot Menu), and see if you are able to open the drive.
Please let us know if this helps.

  • Satellite A200-23P - DVD-rom mechanic not working

    I am sorry for my English in advance this topic! - Thanks
    I have very big problem with my DVD writer (rom).
    I bought SAT A200-23P three weeks ago.
    The OS Win VISTA was installed. DVD-rom worked good.
    If I installed Win XP to second partition on my HDD (before I make install disc with driver for sata disc in nlite) and installed all drivers and utilities for Toshiba notebook, I found that my DVD-rom does not respond while I press eject button.
    DVD mechanic does not respond for eject in the XP and not even in BIOS!
    Interesting is, DVD mechanic is detecting in BIOS, is detecting in XP, operating system XP votes - DVD mechanic working correctly - its fable.
    However, if I installed XP on second partition, Win Vista does not load :(
    I don't have a second chance for second selection (Vista and XP).
    I have now XP only, even if Vista is on first partition - I didnt delete it.
    Do you think the DVD-rom is HW or SW problem?
    I think, seeing that DVD-rom not respond in BIOS - HW error.
    But is very strange, if I install XP from DVD mechanic and close then is done, DVD-rom not working ... : (
    If I open it manually and insert the disc, DVD not working (led diode not blink, just if I turn computer off, led blinked once).
    PLS help me somebody -
    THANKS!

    Hi Michal
    Your issue is very strange I mean the CD/DVD drive issue
    Fact is that the CD/DVD drives eject function should functions no matter what OS was installed on your notebook. It has nothing to do with your software on the HDD.
    So I wonder why the eject button works with Vista and not with preinstalled XP OS ?:|
    My only plausible explanation is that sometimes there is a loose connection between the notebook and the drive. At the other hand the issue could be related to the hardware problem too
    As you see its not easy to say whats wrong exactly we can only speculate.
    Now some details about your dual OS installation.
    You cannot choose between the Windows XP and Vista because the Vista boot manager was overwritten during the Win XP installation.
    This happened to me too. I have installed Win XP on my Satellite and was not able to start Vista.
    The solution was easy; I have used another original Vista DVD (from my friend) and booted from this DVD. The Vista has renewed the boot manager and then I was able to boot the Vista.
    Then I have downloaded the tool called Easy BCD.
    This tool can change the settings the Vista boot manager. I have edited it and inserted a new Windwos XP OS entry.
    Thats it!

  • Application Finder can not be opened

    Last night I went to my Mac Pro running 10.6.8 and discovered all of the icons on my Desktop have disappeared. When I clicked the Finder in the Dashboard, I get "Application Finder can not be opened -10810". The menu bar at the top of the screen only appears when I have an application like Safari running. I have run Disk Utility and Repair permissions and they say everything is fine. Don't want to just flounder around.

    Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
    Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
    Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
    Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
    Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
    If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

    Hi,
    For this issue,I would like to know if we can access or see the file in the DVD.
    Did you receive the error message?
    I suggest you check the Device Manager to see if the device is marked with a yellow exclamation point.
    Meanwhile,please use the CD/DVD troubleshooter  tool ,which can automatically find and fix some problems with CD/DVD.

  • Problem related to PS CS6 ext. on Mac.  Nikon DSLR D610 raw file can not be opened

    Problem related to PS CS6 ext. on Mac. Installation is OK but I can't open picture from my Nikon D610 (Raw NEF format). I get a message "can not open this format ...". Checking Help menu to see if I miss an update the message I get is that I'm up-to-date but at the end Nikon D610 (format supported of course) files can not be opened . JPEG are OK but I work with raw files. Thanks

    What OS are you running: 10.x.x?
    What version of the Camera Raw plug-in do you have?  Do (About) Plug-ins / Camera Raw to find out.
    You need at least ACR 8.3 to open D610 files.  If the Help / Updates process does not work, then there is a manual install process you can do.  The page with the download is for when people accidentally updated to ACR 8.4 and need to roll back to ACR 8.3 due to their OS being incompatible, but the installer on that page works even if you haven’t erroneously updated to ACR 8.4:

    While the iTunes app is being updated, you are correct, it cannot be opened.
    This is true of all Apple apps on your Mac.
    iTunes is not very large compared to other apps.  Let it update, then open it.

    Hi MrJavonte15,
    If you are having issues installing iTunes on your Windows machine, you may want to take a look at the following article:
    Apple Support: Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1926
    If you have previously installed iTunes and continue to have issues, you may want to remove and reinstall iTunes:

  • App Store can no longer be opened.  Immediate crash and error message "App Store can not be opened because of a problem"

    App Store won't open, error message "App Store can not be opened because of a problem".  I haven't been able to update anything for a week or so.  I have used Disk Utility, Drive Genius, deleting the .plist, all to no avail.  My Mac Mail hasn't worked since the upgrade to Mavericks.  Mavericks can't see my LaCie Cloudbox.  Can any of these be solved by me? 

    I have the same error "XXXX App cannot be opened because of a problem". And I also cannot open iTunes and get the error "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes."
    Only Apple apps seem to be at issue here...
    Repairing Permissions did not fix this.
    I noticed this after the last Software update. Is there no fix other than re-installing?
    Not happy that an Apple software update killed all my apps...

  • Itunes application can not be open the disk can not be read from or writte

    itunes can not be opened the disk can not be read from or written to. That is the warning i get when i click my itunes to open it. Problem...
    there is no disk:) i have no idea what this warning means.. i have restarted and nothing.. i updated itunes and same warning.. there is no disk in the drive at all..
    infact i made sure i was in a room with no other disks.. Help??

    A few things to try:
    • Restore Permissions, using Disk Utility (in ~Applications/Utilities)
    • Set the correct Ownership & Permissions for the iTunes folder:
    Select the iTunes folder in ~/Users/YourUsername/Music.
    Get Info (command-I).
    Expand 'Ownership & Permissions' and 'Details:'
    You must read: 'You can Read & Write': if not, change it.
    Click on the 'Apply to enclosed items...' button.
    Hope this helps.

  • Files copied (backed up) on an external hard drive can NOT be opened

    MacBook Pro (2.5GHz, intel Core i5)
    OS X Yosemite, 10.10.2
    I was running low on storage space on my Mac Pro. I copied all items on Desktop to my external hard drive. After all files were copied from MacBook Pro to the external hard drive, "get info" suggested that the amount of space taken entirely was the same between when all items were on the Desktop and when they were on the external hard drive. The number of items copied over were also identical. I should have been more careful, but I then deleted all items from the Desktop. It was until a few days later (today) that I noticed majority of the files copied over onto the external disk can NOT be opened now. The error message was "The alias “<filename>” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found.".
    I really don't want to lose these files, but where are they? They got their file sizes correct but just can not be opened. I tried copying these files back to Desktop on my MacBook Pro, that's not helpful. I tried accessing the files on a PC, still can't open the files. I tried repairing disk of the external hard drive (under Disk Utility), still can't open the files. I tried repairing disk permissions of my MacBook Pro hard drive, still can't open the files.
    One last thing I tried in terminal (I am not terminal savvy at all, just googled the "The alias..." error message and copied the instruction):  /usr/bin/SetFile -a a /Volumes/MAC This did not solve the problem, either.
    Thank you for your help in advance!

    Hi, eddie from pataskala ohio.
    We love pro-active thinking here at the Apple Discussions and you're off to a great start.
    Even though upgrading iTunes shouldn't affect your Library, one of the funny things about computers is that sometime, somehow, somewhere when you least expect it , they can do some not so funny things, like losing data that they're not supposed to. Which is why it's a good idea to have a back up copy of any data (such as your music) that you value in reserve ... just in case.
    The most straightforward way, is to go to the iTunes Edit menu > Preferences > Advanced tab > General sub-tab and make sure your iTunes Music folder is assigned to its default location: C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\My Documents\My Music\iTunes .
    Next make sure all your music is stored in that folder by using the iTunes Advanced menu > Consolidate Library option.
    Now you can copy the entire iTunes folder - the iTunes Music folder and the iTunes library files in particular - to your external drive.
    If anything does go wrong with the upgrade, you'll be all set to recreate your Library.
