Hey,
last night was watching a DVD, the movie stopped, the drive stopped reading it and now it won't open. The light comes on when u turn on the computer but as soon as u try eject it the light goes off. It won't open.

Driver problem?
Formatting or something?

thanks

Every dvd drive has a small hole in the front you put a paperclip in & it opens the door. Iwouldn't put that disk back in any machine.
