HP DVD1170d drawer opens rarely

I have a HP DVD1170d installed.  This DVD drive requires several button presses to actually open.  It always opens if there is a disk in DVD players.  It always did, but got worse over time.  The tip of a paper clip to open it does not work.  Any ideas?  Running Win 7 ultimate, DVD drive is SATA.

Hello

It looks like a mechanical problem where pressing the eject button doesn't send signal in training.

You can remove the flange and check the connection.

Try the command of software with no disc in the drive as follows: Open Computer, right-click on the CD/DVD drive, select eject.

If successful, it is a mechanical problem with the eject on the turn button.

  • How to make a vectorized into a single line drawing open way?

    How to make a drawing line converted to outlines in a single open path? I can turn into a vector drawing, but making it a closed path. I ask because I want to control the strokes and the thickness of the line that I made myself. BTW, I know the drawing I posted would be in fact a closed path, but it is just one example. I want to control the race of vectored in general lines.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300 - DVD drawer will not open most of the time

    I have a portable Satellite Pro A300-1NH. The DVD drawer opens not most of the time. Sometimes it does, but most of the time it isn't.
    Sometimes, if I can get a DVD/CD in the drawer for something to burn, burning works.
    Most of the time the computer does not recognize that there is a disc, and then I can't open the drawer again to get it out.

    Can anyone tell a novice what should I do to resolve this issue please?

    It looks like a mechanical problem. You need to replace or insert a PIN or no folded into a small hole on the plateau near the exit button whenever he is stuck.

    It looks like a mechanical fault with the mechanism of the optical drive.  While this may very well not cause other problems, because it is a whole new machine, my best advice would be to just return the phone to the retailer, it was purchased at and get a replacement.

  • Open Wen to crack DVDs CDs that I turn on my computer

    Wen I turn on my computer the dvd cd slot open, does not keep close

    Hello

    1. what operating system is installed on the computer?

    If you use Windows 7, then you can try the steps below and check if the problem persists.

    It is possible for a software open and close your disc tray. If the drawer opens by itself while in a program like CD/DVD burning program, it is a normal function of the program.

    Step 1:

    However, if the tray is opening at random by itself, it is possible that another program installed on the computer is at the origin of the problem. To determine if this is the cause, if you are running Microsoft Windows Start computer in Safe Mode.

    Let the computer Safe Mode, if the drawer then eject in Safe Mode that you meet one of the other below situations.

    Step 2:

    However, if the tray is not ejected in Mode safe, it is likely a program running on your computer is causing your problem.

    I recommend you perform the clean boot.

    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Damaged disk or other object in the player

    If a disk has become loose in the back of the car or another object was put in the player, it can cause the drive tray eject at random.

    Use a flashlight and shine in the drive to try to determine if a disk is stuck in the drive or any other object is in the drive.

    If a disc is stuck in the drive, try using a pair of pliers to tapered spout and remove the disc. If you are concerned about damage to the drive (if not already corrupted) you can consider removing the drive and remove the drive.

    Note:

    Disk drives are not intended to be open and unmount the drive will void the warranty and in some cases can damage the drive. Please contact the computer manufacturing to get assistance in this matter.

    Other hardware malfunction

    Finally, if you have tried all of the above recommendations and the status bar continues to eject randomly we suggest to replace the disk. It is likely that a component in the drive is bad or failing.

  • Tempting desperately to open the Dimension E521 CD-Rom drive does not open. Anyone know the solution?

    I tried all the solutions given by the computer itself nothing doesn't.  It seems that it will open up and then stops.  I have the green light as I usually do, but it flashes not stable.  I really need to use this player.  There is nothing in the drive to get stuck.  Is that someone out there has had this problem and how they solve this problem?

    First of all, try to open Windows Explorer, click right on the optical drive icon and select eject.

    Another option is to hold the eject button in (gently) in electric biking your system.  Take your finger on the button the moment where he begins to open.  In addition, you are allowed to try and hold the drawer open if she tries to close the bottle.  There are generally micro-switches that detect it and put an end to the attempt to close the plateau or the door.

    You can also get the emergency eject hole somewere around the door (sometimes under a bezel).  It should work with the power on or off, but I do it with the power turned off.  (Paste a conductor in a piece of electronic equipment of power on seems a recipe for disaster to me.)  The hole is the diameter of a large paper clip (the favorite :) tool.  Succession the wire out and push to the right .  There should be some slight as resistance it UN-engages the latch and starts sliding drawer open.  At this point, you should be able to get out the drawer/tray by hand.

  • my computer makes a plaintive sound, he has not done before and since then the cd door does not open, I close it out but still makes noise

    the noise is like a high-pitched moan

    Hello Boomer09,

    Thank you for your message.  This sounds like something is stuck in your CD/DVD.  Most of the models have a small hole at the front.  You can usually use a paperclip (or something of this size) to push through the hole and the drawer opens manually.  If it is stuck, you can open the drawer and eliminate the problem.  Otherwise, it could be a hardware failure and you will need to replace it.  You always have the possibility to open your computer and remove the power cables to your drive.  This will stop the sound, but you will not be able to use the drive.
    Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.
    See you soon

  • LaserJet pro 1415: cannot open the cartridge door and prints have red lines on them

    First problem was the red lines on the printed pages, now I can't open the cartridge door

    Just to close the loop, we decided to force the drawer open, because the printer was unusable anyway even if we have something broken. With a lot of pressure, the drawer open. We then tried to print something and a message there is a paper jam.  We opened the back door to clear paper jam and off broke a spring and a broken then only plastic parts. We cleared the jam and thought that the broken part just came to the door but was clearing of the works.  Then we printed out a page and everything worked fine.  If the door does not close completely because it is missing a piece, so what? The printer works fine. Thanks for trying to help.

  • Drive DVD keeps opening by itself

    Hello

    Since I bought my Dell computer in December drive keeps opening by itself regardless of whether or not there is a CD inside. As soon as I turn on the computer, it opens and opens again whenever I close. I checked properties which asserts that its correct operation and verification of diagnosis stated that all software is very good. Everyone knows about this problem? As I said this happened since I bought the computer and has become more common to the point that it is no longer remains closed unless the computer is off.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    There is a disconcerting fix that might work as it did for me. After having done a fairly extensive research going to recharge the device driver, to play with printed circuit boards and connections, I came across a post to discuss how tricky the mechanism and the sensor is to determine if it is closed or not.

    It turns out that the way a lot of people shut the drawer (which they shouldn't) by pressing on it, it can move one or two toothed wheels out of the correct position so shake the sensor opening and closing.

    By slightly pulling the drawer open while pushing the close button, you can pull the drawer toward the setting appropriate for the sensor and hopefully solve the problem.

    It worked for me, after spending months in the open position with no way to hold it closed.

    And for those who want to keep these things work correctly, just a little patient pe and use the open close button. Shoving in this regard is not a good idea.

  • DVD player will not open

    I am running Windows Vista 64-bit with all maintenance applied.  My computer has two DVD RW drives.  When I push the eject button physical on the drive, the tray opens for a while and then quits.  If I select "eject" on the graphic display (Windows Explorer), the behavior is the same - the tray opens for a while and then quits.

    Here's the new readers.  I just replaced them, since the old disks had the same problem, and I assumed the old disks were somewhat defective.

    If I just start the update of the BIOS, the problem goes away - I push the physical eject button, and the drawer opens and stays that way.  For this reason, I guess that the problem is not the faulty discs, but something that makes Windows.

    Hello

    It's my general troubleshooting Guide for problems of CD/DVD, and maybe it will help you with this unusual problem.

    Step 1: Please make all underneath the same if you've done it before as it's often the total of the process which
    solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
    Playback of CD and DVD). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are some registry entries
    that the troubleshooter does not, and those who "could" be the cause.

    Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the good
    Your player registry entries.

    Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the reader of CD/DVD subkeys of course that he will be
    other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE
