Why My DVD ROM behave Mysteriously??

Hello Nelson,

I hope you are in good health.

First thing you can do is to restart your computer. That will help you open your DVD ROM.

There are a few reasons why your DVD ROM would not open. There are some programs which restrict and do not allow opening it while they are running. Suppose when you are writing on a disk. If you press eject button on your DVD ROM or click the eject option from your DVD ROM drive, it will not open. There are a few music and video players which do not allow ejecting CD or DVD unless you stop playing that music or video that you are running. There are also many applications which do not allow you to eject a DVD ROM at the time that they are running. You should close that kind of application, and that's the only when you can open your DVD ROM.

You should check if the DVD writer driver is installed or not. If it is not, reinstall the software. This can help you to open the ROM’s tray properly when you wish to.

As you have mentioned your DVD ROM is new. If you still have the DVD ROM’s warranty, then please go to your manufacturer’s service Centre to check up your DVD ROM if it is faulty or not. You have to make sure of that. You can replace your ROM’s ejecting mechanism belt. It may do the trick. This is what I am going to suggest you, this is for your old DVD ROM. I won't suggest you to use an ultimate eject for a new one. I mean, insert a pin under the tray of DVD ROM when it is not ejecting, after pressing eject button or right clicking to choose eject option.

This process is kept when your DVD ROM becomes old and its parts which support ejection mechanism are not working properly. This is not the actual way to open your DVD ROM that I would recommend. Though your DVD ROM is new, I guess your DVD ROM’s ejecting parts are faulty. I would also suggest you to keep any CD or DVD disk in your ROM, if you do this it will protect your ROM’s lens from dust.

If your DVD ROM is not reading a CD or DVD, first, please check the CD or DVD. Are their conditions good? Check for scratches, if there are any. If your CD or DVD is faulty, the ROM won't be able to read it. A CD or DVD is divided into tracks and sectors. When you insert a CD or DVD to your ROM, it starts reading. It keeps on reading and reading when it reaches to a faulty sector that may be due to scratches. If you click eject option at that time, it will not open. You have not mentioned if your DVD ROM is writing properly or not. If it is not, I shall surely suggest you to go in a manufacturer’s service Centre for repair or replacement and buy a new DVD writer if your manufacturer’s warranty is over.

Have a nice day.
