Kia ora,
My cd/dvd player stopped working the day before yesterday and I can't
get it to work again. The leds flicker a bit then nothing. Sounds like
it has an attempt at reading it, then gives up. Totem tells me "Failed
to find mountpoint for device /dev/hda in /etc/fstab" and other software
tells me there is no disk in the drive.
I've a suspicion some food substance (cream or custard or similar) that
ended up a cd may have done some damage?! ooops :-( Not sure though. I
also installed a bunch of software updates automatically with Ubuntu's
update manager. I doubt it, but perhaps there was something in there
that caused a problem?
Any suggestions as to what I should do? There's still a couple of years
of warranty on it, so I can't just pull the player to pieces and have a
look without breaking the wee 'this will void your warranty' sticker.
Cheers
Matt
if its under warranty then take it in for repair/replacement.
If they say "we do not cover custard ingestion falure" you can spend less than
$100 and get another one. If they fix/replace it, you have lost nothing.
Hi Matt,
And if it's not covered under warranty then there is no problem with
breaking the seal and cleaning the lens as that is most likely the issue
if you have custard in there....
