cd-rw; liteOn-it problem

Submitted by rummelAIO on February 17, 2006 - 12:14pm. PowerPC Macs

so this cd-rw drive has been awesome for one full year. and now it wont recognize anything. everything in the computer (X and 9) sees a device and knows the name and everything. but when there is a disc in there, everything says there is no disc. i am guessing the drive died. anyone else think so?
oh yeah, it is a liteOn-it cd-rw 52x32x52. i dont think i used patchburn for this installation, and that installation happened several months ago and this just happened last night. o burn, i have been using roxio toast 6.1 or something like that.

peace and love
ande

it sounds like you could be right about it dieing, but first check to see if the ide connectors are on good . take them off and put them back on. try to run a optical drive cleaner threw it. i know this will not work but its worth a try have you held the cuda button have you reset pram. the only other option is to buy another drive if all else fail's. BTW it could be a good time to buy a dvd +- r rw/cd r rw drive
