DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM Drive Problems
LifeBook notebook
fails to recognize
DVD/CD-RW/ CD-
ROM’s.
(continued)
The DVD/CD-RW/
CD-ROM Access
indicator on the
Status Indicator
Panel blinks at
regular intervals
when no DVD/CD-
RW/CD-ROM is in
the tray or the
optical drive is not
installed.
Wrong drive designator
was used for DVD/CD-
RW/CD-ROM in the
application.
Windows DVD/CD-RW/
CD-ROM auto insertion
function is disabled.
DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM is
dirty or defective.
The Windows DVD/CD-
RW/CD-ROM auto
insertion function is active
and is checking to see if a
DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM is
ready to run.
Verify the drive designator used by the
application is the same as the one used by the
operating system.
When the operating system is booted from a
DVD/ CD, drive designations are automatically
adjusted.
Start the DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM from the
desktop or application software or re-enable
the Windows DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM auto
insertion function.
Wipe DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM with a non-
abrasive CD cleaning cloth and reinsert. If it
still does not work, replace a new DVD/CD-
RW/CD-ROM in the drive.
This is normal. However, you may disable this
feature.
