A question that no one can answer, the optical drive disappears for no reason

Landlord, I'm sure to tell you, it's a problem with the IDE data cable, although you said, "2 If the optical drive cable is loose, it shouldn't be able to be used under the dos, let alone broken." "But I once had the exact same problem as you, and I just changed the data cable in the end.

Even's personal opinion is to see if there is a virus.

Or some spyware can do that.

Have you installed any software or hardware that conflicts with optical drives recently?

The data cable of your optical drive is broken, and it is the broadband in it.

Just change the roots.

No, you can find someone to borrow a CD-ROM drive, try it to see if you can find it, if not, it's your hardware problem, you try it, and then talk about it! 1

1) It's a virus!

2) Control Panel - Add New Hardware!

You restart your computer and enter safe mode. Delete the driver of the optical drive in safe mode. Restart your computer normally. It's usually OK. It could be because of your outage issues. Try to change the interruption and you're good to go.

It's a lot.,I'll make up a little.,Will it load the driver of the real mode of the optical drive?

1. According to your description, it turned out that it had been burned for normal use, and the most likely problem was the disc specification. Not all discs can be read and written.

2. There is a problem with the disc or your burning device.

Check for yourself whether the disc you buy is suitable for your recorder's application.

Blank CD-R and Blank ***-R are available in different quality grades: A, B, C.

1 blank CDR

Class B CD-ROM - Tablets (

Class C CD-ROM - Sheet (

1. The optical drive is incorrect, such as the *** disc can not be read in the CD drive, and the same way, the Blu-ray disc can not be read when put into the *** optical drive or the CD optical buried grandson drive.

2. The disc can be read on the optical drive of other computers, so the laser head on the optical drive is aging, and it is difficult to read the optical disc, resulting in not reading the disc. At this point, simply replace the optical drive with a new one.

3. If the disc cannot be read on the optical drive of the computer with a different fiber chain, it is not possible to try multiple discs, and the disc is worn out, replace the disc with a new one.

4. If the disc can only be read on a few computers in a vertical training, it proves that the compatibility of the disc is not good, that is, the usual disc, can only be replaced with a compatible optical drive model.

1.If the light of the optical drive is on, press Normal when entering and exiting the warehouse. The data cable in the host computer is loose or the cable is broken.

2.The light of the optical drive does not turn on, and the buttons do not respond. The power cord inside the console is loose or the cord is broken.

3.The light of the optical drive is on, press the normal and data cable to check when entering and exiting the warehouse, it is the drive letter missing, in my computer - control panel - management tools - computer management, select disk management on the left, and then select ***-rom at the bottom right, right-click the pop-up dialog basket to select - change the drive name and path, click to add in the pop-up dialog basket, select the drive letter, OK, save and exit.

4.If the optical drive does not read the disk, the optical drive is broken. Send it for repair or buy a new one.

In this case, it is the optical drive to select the disk. The optical drive works normally in the system, indicating that there is no problem with the cable, plug, power supply, etc., but it cannot be started with a disc, that is, this boot disc cannot be read by your optical drive, but other optical drives can be read, which means that the identification between the optical drive and the optical disc is not good, that is, the selection of the disc (or pick the disk). Disc selection is very common, especially on older optical drives, and occurs more frequently.

The technology is the new optical drive, and it is not something that can be read by any disc. Both optical drives and discs can cause disc selection.

Attached: Disc selection, on the two aspects of optical drive and optical disc: 1. optical drive.

Most of the problems of the optical drive are as follows: dirty or damaged optical head, laser power drop or defocus, poor error correction ability, faulty decoder board, disconnected data or power cable, or poor contact, etc. Any of these problems may result in not reading the disc or selecting the disc.

2. CD-ROMs. The problems of optical discs are as follows: disc quality problems (including the quality of blank discs and the quality of burning, whether the disc surface is damaged, etc.), disc deformation, disc format problems, etc.

Some plates are regionally restricted.

Suggestion: Try to find a few good disks that can be read normally on other optical drives. If you can't read it on your optical drive, you can rule out the disc problem, which is a problem with the optical drive; If some of them can be read, it's the disc drive. If you use a cleaning disc after cleaning.

If there is no effect, it may be that the bald head is aging. If they can all be read, it's the problem with those discs. If it is a problem with the optical drive, this optical drive can be used immediately, or the optical head or a new machine.

This is a failure of the optical head circuit of the optical drive, and there is no other good way but to go to a repair shop to repair it.

(1) There is a problem with the optical drive itself.

The above faults will occur when the performance of the laser head reading disk of the optical drive is unstable or the chip on the optical drive circuit board is poorly dissipated.

The solution is to replace the optical drive or improve the heat dissipation conditions of the optical drive.

2) The power supply of the optical drive is abnormal.

In this case, we should first check whether the power plug of the optical drive is in good contact with the power interface of the optical drive, whether the metal reed in the plug is oxidized, and whether the wire at the other end of the plug is fastened firmly.

Secondly, the power interface inside the optical drive and the soldering part of the circuit board are loosened and virtually connected due to frequent plugging and unplugging, which is mostly seen in the optical drive that is often used for mobile use.

When this problem occurs, you can observe whether the status indicator of the optical drive is on and whether the tray of the optical drive can be ejected normally to help determine the fault situation.

3) The optical drive data cable is not connected properly.

If the data cable is frequently unplugged and unplugged or the data cable is of poor quality, when the contact is falsely connected or short-circuited, it may also be that the data cable is installed incorrectly, or this kind of fault will also occur when it is loose. If the fault disappears after replacing the data cable, there is a problem with the data cable used by the optical drive.

While troubleshooting this issue, you should check the IDE interface of the motherboard and optical drive, whether there are broken pins, curved pins, or short pins, and whether there are any debris.

4) The IDE S-ATA interface of the motherboard or the south bridge chip has poor performance.

This issue can also occur if the IDE S-ATA interface on the motherboard is poorly soldered or the southbridge chip is not performing well. After this problem occurs, if the optical drive and data cable are replaced, this problem persists; After swapping the position of the hard disk and the optical drive, it still shows that the hard disk is reading normally, and when the optical drive is lost, it can be concluded that it is a motherboard problem.

5) Changed the BIOS settings, causing the optical drive to be lost during use.

Because of the emergence of S-ATA hard disk, the BIOS settings of the motherboard have more support modes for S-ATA hard disk and P-ATA hard disk.

When the P-ATA mode is selected, the S-ATA hard disk is lost, which is manifested as being able to boot the computer with a CD, but no hard disk exists after booting, and the system cannot be installed;

Only when the S-ATA+P-ATA mode is selected, you can use both the S-ATA hard disk and the ATAPI optical drive.

Nowadays, I rarely use the optical drive, so let's dismantle it.
