A friend of a coworkers CDROM Drive inherited from his company when it broke (of course). Got that?
Symptoms: The thing was sitting on the edge of Dave’s desk when I showed up in the morning. All the pieces were there, some assembly required. I could not really get a coherent description of the problem – I thought it had something to do with the drawer opening… Sound familiar? (Recall Repair Brief #52: Aztech CDA-268-01A CDROM Drive – Drawer Continuously Closing). Testing: I had to reassemble it first! Then I suggested I take it home since I really didn’t have time to deal with it at work. First, I give it a careful examination but find nothing. I then reassembled it to the point where power can be safely applied. I did not bother with the interface, just the power. For these occasions, I have an old switching supply conveniently mounted under my PC desk – and one that doesn’t even require one of those quaint headlamp minimum loads! At first the drive appeared hesitant to spin the CD but then after a couple of minutes, seems to be fine – the 2X and Busy lights flash on momentarily
