Not visible to the DVD drive in Acer Aspire 5520?

52 views

Some time ago ceased to be (in Windows Explorer) CD/DVD drive in laptop Acer Aspire 5520. Of course, any drives not readable.

Could this be the result of some of the problems with lasers or some other optical elements? Or if this were so, the drive still would be defined as mouth-in? Do I understand correctly that cleaning these optical elements/sensors will not help?

Tried to remove the drive to verify the contacts and the possibility of self-replacement on the other drive, but, to my shame, did not work. That is, if the back open the lid complex forty, it is possible to access the memory modules, fan, HDD, MB. even the processor, but DVD ROM is not directly accessible (if I overlooked).

No one accidentally has experience of disassembling your Acer Aspire 5520?

And whether any programmatic way to detect/diagnose the error? May be some resource contention, etc.? OS — Windows Vista.

The same problem is discovered by accident and don't even know when it originated, but especially not floating, as is the other laptop, and the discs almost never use. If you find a solution, please accomplish your goal.

Acer 5520 it sucks.
First dead drive, then shut the memory, had to change, fortunately, that house a couple of modules lying. Now dead video card. Replacement — half the cost of the laptop.
Put it in a box of junk. :(

Due to aging of the laser can be a similar situation. Faced with such conventional actuators. To cut off the option and you can try to take a few bootable CDs (and DVDs) and try to boot. Specifically 5520 not remember now, but usually the notes on the reverse side, in the area of drive there is a screw that holds it and. After gently twisting the drive can be pulled out.

1. download linux
2. put
3. check whether the drive
4....
5. well you poneli
because the same software an error in on line and in Windows is practically impossible, there is a definitely — dead if the drive or Windows.

If you can borrow someone's USB DVD drive to boot some Live CD and check if you could see a native DVD Drive. But if visible, if it is operational. This is all assuming that your BIOS supports booting from USB (if your computer is relatively new, it is likely supported, but there may be exceptions).
