my CD does not open. The green light flashes but its does not

I have a hp workstation xw4200. It had not been used since 2004. When we first turned the computer on the CD works perfectly. We even made a cd of music on it. But this computer needed some serious updates and since we have updated of pilots and other things, it did not work. The Green led comes on like its something but it does not open and it says that there is no cd inside.

Here are a few ways to open the drawer with a CD/DVD with a stuck CD/DVD player,

  1. Open Workstation , and then search for your CD/DVD drive and right click and select eject.
  2. Get a paper clip and one end on open if you have something to dig with. Look on the front of your CD Player for a very small pin hole.


    Place the open end of the paperclip into the hole of a PIN and push gently but firmly keeping it perpendicular to the front of the player.

I think you get some success on one of these methods. The last one is usually reserved for out a totally defective CD/DVD disc.

  • How can I fix my CD player that does not start spinning, however the green light flashes twice and the door opens fine.

    I recently got a desktop computer. It's an hp with Microsoft Windows XP. I don't understand not brand-new, but it worked when I got it. My children decided to "help" with a cd of one day and he has not worked since. It is not simply turn and nothing shows up on the screen as if I never put anything in the drive. I tried to open a file manually, but he just told me to insert a disk in drive D. When I close the door, it flashes twice, then nothing happens and it is completely silent. I'd appreciate any help.

    Sounds as if the reader does not, replace it and see what happens.

    Hello

    What indicator do you mean exactly?

    DC (first on left) indicator lights up green when the properly feeding the power adapter. If the output voltage is abnormal or if breakdowns computers power indicator lights.

    The other indicator (power led second from left) lights green when the computer is turned on. If you turn off the computer to sleep, this LED starts blinking Orange.

    Also if there is a failure of memory Power LED repeatedly flashes
    0.5 sec and off 0.5 sec
    If there is a problem with the slot A the LED flashes two times orange then green once
    If there is an error in the B slot, the LED flashes orange green once then twice
    If there is error in the slot A and B the LED flashes two times in orange and green.

    But if the power light flashes green only, I guess there is a motherboard problem.

  • Reference Dell V313w green light flashing of power

    Howdy,

    I left this printer House my father to mine, and when I plugged the power button began to blink green. It worked very well with him and I drove just two blocks away, so I don't think anything being pushed around around.

    I have pressed the power button for a minute without change. I also unplugged the printer from the wall and disconnect the power to the printer. I waited a few minutes then reconnected power. I went through the manual and searched on the internet but came up with nothing useful. I tried to install the printer on my computer, but the installer think that the power is off to the printer.

    Thank you for any help or advice. The green light flashes constantly tormenting me. :)

    Hi Montanaw,

    There is no reset for this printer pin hole button. To reset the printer, please follow the mentioned below as follows:

    1. Turn the printer off.
    2. Press on and press and hold the 'Start' and 'Cancel' button and then press the "Power" button to turn on the printer.
    3. The printer resets and starts the initial printer installation.

    If the problem persists, the printer must be replaced.

  • Wireless switch on, but the green light is turned OFF so WiFi doesn't work do not

    Hello

    Sony VAIO VGN-FE780G with Windows 8.

    Wireless switch starts giving the problem for the past 1-2 years. The green light is used for down working on laptop, usually as he used to come down as soon as you move the laptop little. I used to move the cursor to the market and push it a little to make it ON. This is usually used to make green and wifi, used to work.

    Last week the green light went off and then even after trying to do ON dragging to MARKET or pushing, sound not to become green.

    My guess is that the switch had bad connection and now it has finally broken from the inside.

    What is the solution? I can open the laptop and fix it?

    Kind regards

    Sachin

    raklow364:

    Although the VGNFE780G initially provided with Windows XP and is not supported for Windows 8, I would say that if you had Windows 8 working on the PC to WiFi before, this seems to indicate a problem of material with the switch.

    Have you tried opening the charm of settings in Windows 8, and clicking on the PC to change settings link, then wireless to see if the WiFi radio has been disabled in the settings?

  • HP dv7-3085dx power light flashes, but the laptop does not work.

    Hello! I have a HP Pavilion dv7-3085dx. It has a hard drive Bay 2.

    Recently, I bought the caddy + cable kit and an Intel SSD. The thing is, when I plug the sata cable to the motherboard for the laptop, and the SSD to it, the laptop does not light. When I press the power button, it flashes once (the power LED flashes once), but the laptop does not light. When I press again, nothing happens.

    I tried to remove the power supply plug, battery and plug it all again, but the power light flashes once (when you press the power button) and no reaction.

    Maybe it's the sata cable: when I remove the new cable and connect the SSD with the sata cable on the 1 hard drive Bay (the cable supplied with the notebook), it works fine. The laptop starts. And when I connect the former sata cable, with the SSD on the second hard drive Bay, it also works.

    I just want to now what is the flashing light means light? Why it does not work with the new cable?

    Thanks in advance! Sorry for my bad English...

    Emilio.

    It is possible that this is a problem with the kit. I would recommend to download and install the latest BIOS update for your laptop, using the download at the following link: http://goo.gl/rbHkg

    If it still doesn't work after that, I would recommend to suppress the kit for a replacement or to try another.

  • FaceTime Camera: the green light next to the camera makes a slow blink, and there is no picture

    MacBook (retina, 12 inch, early 2015) El Capitan 10.11.5 now ongoing enforcement.

    Whenever I try to access the camera FaceTime (FaceTime, Photo Booth Apps) the green light next to the camera made a slow blink, and there is no picture.

    The system report > camera > model ID: Apple camera VendorID_0x106B ProductID_0x1570

    The numbers of the vendor and the product are correct?

    The camera worked for 6 months passed and I used FaceTime several times without problem.  Several users are affected.

    None of the recent changes to the system.

    Since the problem began, I have:

    (1) installed Skype to see if one application other than an Apple app had a camera problem. Skype has no camera or.

    (2) improved 10.10.4 to El Capitan Yosemite.  Hoping that the upgrade would reload the application Face Time.   No change in symptoms

    (3) reinstalled the El Capitan using the OS X Internet recovery.  I have not used the time Machine.

    (Note for everyone, it was simple and painless and does not need to reinstall applications.)  I want to reinstall MS OS was too simple)

    (4) several other threads suggested to reset NVRAM and SMC memory, even if they do not seem to be associated with the prob. who - without success here tried either

    Any advice to determine whether it is hardware or software?  Still dig while you wait for a response.

    Note: This problem is not resolved

  • LaserJet Professional P 1102w printer green light blinking, but will not be printed

    I had my P of professional LaserJet 1102w for a little less than a year.  I use it very rarely and very slightly (I've probably printed total less than 25 pages).  It has always worked well.

    But in the last 2 weeks, it stopped printing.  The Green led comes on, but it will not be printed.

    I went through the troubleshooting diagnostic tests on my computer (HP Pavilion, Windows 7 operating system).  The result shows that my computer detects a problem, but it cannot identify it (for example, no paper jam, no toner, etc..).  I manually checked it for a paper jam too.  I have not seen any problems.  I turned off, unplugged, he turned his back.  She still does not print.  And now the green light blinks, even if I turn it off several hours ago.

    Help, please.  Thank you.

    Update: I realized what it was.  My USB cable was very slightly loose.  I don't see when I checked manually the printer the first time.  But I checked a second time and just pushed him tighter.  Problem solved.

  • The green light on the back of the Tower will always be on in a Pavilion m9600t?

    If the computer is on or off, if the power cord is plugged into an outlet, the green light is turned on. It's ALWAYS been on, fan 24/7, I got the computer, but since I'm having problems in temperature lately, I wonder if that's a bad thing.

    If this is supposed to be off when the computer is not in use, others unplug, then how to make it go off?

    Hello:

    This light being on is normal.

    You open the case and check for dust in the supply fan, the chassis fan or the fan to the heat sink?

    At least every year or 6 months, you have to blow out the dust in these areas with a can of compressed air.
