Today I found that the CD/DVD drive is no longer recognized by the laptop (does not show up in the device manager, nor in Windows Explorer). It has power, opens and closes fine and the green light comes one, but no-worky.
Online research indicates that the problem may be a fault in the nvidia graphics chip. I don't see an option for re-loading the driver, if the device itself is not recognized. I may fool around with system restore later. In the meanwhile, I'll borrow an external optical drive, and start saving nickels and dimes for a new laptop. Six years is a nice long life for a cheapie from Walmart, so I cannot complain at all. -Max _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
