    Post cd burner light keeps flashing

    even with no cd in the drive and no activity whatsoever. it probably doesnt affect anything at all, but its very annoying. is there anything i can do to stop it?

    Which burner?
    What system?
    what OS?
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    Nothing that a dab of liquid paper won't fix.(and you can remove it too)
    Note: To correct display problems, hold the "ALT"key and press"F4".

    imediate answer : we call it tippex

    long term , try the drive in another machine to see if it is faulty, and/or check cable , jumper settings etc.


    if working ok on other machine, then elaborate further.

    if not send it back for a replacement.


    as we have no knowledge of your setup , it would be easier to illiminate the cd (being faulty) on another machine , before proceeding with further questions


    good luck with your quest ,,,and post a reply

    Do what freddy suggested – try it in another machine. Also I would make sure all your drivers are current including your BIOS.

    Be sure to post your results.

    thanks. i will try it in another machine, but given that there are no new drivers for it, and it does not affect operation in any way, but is just annoying, i may go for the tipex
