The 'yellow read light of my cd burner keeps on flashing even if there is no cd in it. Is it normal if not what is the solution? thanks Some CD players will flash the light whenever Windows polls the device for a CD. My old player flashes about every half a second. My CDRW doesn't. |

Every few seconds, Windows will check to see if you just inserted a CD into the drive, and will look for an autorun file, and fire it up if it finds one on the CD. That's one reason why your hard drive and CDROM drive lights will continually flash. Some people like to disable the polling in order to do everything possible to prolong the life of the hard drive and the CDROM drive. |
