CD-ROM has lost its mind

[jdillman1502]

I have a user that has a cd-rom that will continuously open and close itself as long as the pc is on. It doesn't matter wether or not any disc is in the drive. Suggestions?

Yes, replace the drive it's faulty. Maybe get a DVD Drive this time

Pretty much what i figured...

We agree with Kimsland. This is one of the typical problems with a failed optical drive. Replacement is faster and less costly than trying the repair. Picking the right replacment is the tricky part... If you want advice there, let us know, but be prepared for lots of opinions.
