Posted October 21, 2007 I really don't know what's up but no CD's will start up in my laptop. DVD's are fine but I get the CD trying to start and here a sound like it is "stopping/winding down"?? DVD's are fine but NO CD's work at all. i haven't got a clue what to do. When I click the CD drive it says no CD present Do I need to reinstall it with drivers or something? if so where do I find these? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 21, 2007 You should be able to get the drivers from the manufacturers site. Could also be that the laser is stuck, so that it can't move up and down anymore to get the correct distance to read CDs. If you didn't install anything else you could just do a system restore to point where everything was working and look if it does again. Fixed my sounddriver that way once.

Posted October 21, 2007 A restore means I would lose loads of work. There are no drivers on the packardbell website for the cd drive? Am I looking for the wrong name? is it under some other name? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 21, 2007 You shouldn't lose any documents with a System Restore... Back them up first anyway though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 23, 2007 Yeah it would be cheaper to replace your cd/dvd drive than get it fixed i imagine, and they're not that expensive these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
