missing dvd/cd drive-amilo pa 1538

Postby angry elvis » Sat Mar 15, 2008 11:50 am

it seems alot of people have had this problem, ive tried all the fixes ive found on the net.. cd gone regedit, deleted upper and lower filters, tried a repair with my windows recovery cd(which did boot from boot set-up wierdly enough) but windows will still not recognise my drive.
problem started a couple months ago, my drive would show up SOMETIMES,
but now it seems its gone for good.
i cant find any other ideas short of doing a full windows install. any new ideas out there before i go hardcore on this thing?

open and close the tray and when its closed try pushing it a little in, this worked on my pa 1538 , might be a loose power connector ,also afterwards o into bios and set to default settings then reboot, it should show up in the bios again
