Hello everybody, I'm new here, this is my first post in the forum. I found Xisto from one of my friend. Anyway, I just purchased a CDROM drive last year I don't mention the brand of that one.actually it's a CR Writer also, before the performance was very impressive infact maybe I just copied many cd's using that writer, but lately it just turn like a crazy thing open and then close eventhough I don't touched the button. sometime it works normal but when I used it for maybe 1 to 2 hours and up, its the same problem.My friend told me that my I got spyware that send command to my pc, or maybe a virus or what. I can still use the drive but not so often. Sometimes, when I pushed the open button it won't work, what I did is to pushed the small hole near the eject button with a paper clip just to open the cd rom drive. but if it open, same thing happened.. open close, close open and then open close again...I'm about to buy another one, but do yo think I can still fixed my old writer? or replaced it with a new one?
