sick of samsung
guys u all will laugh at my plight... i have 2 samsung drives, one DVD rom and another DVD writer. The ROM fails to close and finally closes after 10-12 attempts with me hitting on it with the available things around. So my writer decided to be unlike his brother(or may be sister) and it has started to remain closed even when i want the tray to be open.
so now i have two drives out of which one doesnt open and other keeps opening.
no virus intrusion .... already checked..
can anyone help me with this

Re: sick of samsung
before everyone recommends you to trash samsung and opt for some other manufacturers' drives, why not do a simple thing? take them to the service centre and get them fixed. that should do it.

Re: sick of samsung
i took it to the service center.. the one which keeps opening... the guy did something to it for about a week .. after 10 days the drive was in its old condition again... i took it again ... and the same thing happened... the prob is every visit he charges 150 and very soon i will end up money to buy a new ROM itself

Re: sick of samsung
Hehehe..very funny Hansraj. The problem is related to the improper motor action due to jammed gears and pulleys. Just clean them thoroughly but take care not to damage the lens. Lubricate the moving areas of slider and motor too. That should solve the problem.

Re: sick of samsung
That's nothing new with Samsung drives and you aren't the first person to face it.
After a year of smooth operation, the Samsung drive will either have problems with the tray or with the lens.
So, be careful before buying Samsung products in the future.
Well I don't know if anything can be done of the current drives. I decide to dump my Samsung combo drive inside my drawer, where it is RIP, and buy a new DVD writer. No point in wasting any money over something like Samsung.

Re: sick of samsung
theres a small hole in the drive, shove a needle into it to force the tray to come out...after that restart the computer with the tray open, everything should work fine...

Re: sick of samsung
well i had also the same problem.my samsung drive would not close.if i pushed the button it would close for a few seconds and would come out.I used to tape my drive with a cellotape so that it would not open.  .u can try that or throw it out of u'r window cause it can't be fixed.  .That's what i did.

Re: sick of samsung
Hmmm....same problem faced by many people! How can Samsung mess up with their CD/DVD drives? Other than Monitors, I wonder which are the 'quality' products they offer?

Re: sick of samsung
dont spend even a penny more for ur samsung drive..it is of no use.. even i ave a Samsung drive & 'm facing the same problem.. i.e the tray cant be controlled by me.. it'll eject wen it wishes & it closes whwn it feels to do so..  and understanding the wish & will of the drive i have to insert cds/dvds..
i gaveit twice for service & experienced d same problem.. for d 1st 2 weeks it'll function properly after then it goes outta control..
it irritated me to the core & finally i got a SONY drive.. now i care a damn about the samsung drive..  better buy some other drive..
SAMSUNG SUCKS
