Disc drive loads and opens randomly at times
by linuxlivecd from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5M6NA)
Hello,
So I just wanted to inquire as some may of had this problem at one time or another, a disc drive that opens randomly on the computer, it could be just after start up or when the computer is on and no programs running.
I have read a few web pages it could be loose connections, or a sensitive drive sensor gone wonky.
It doesn't happen often, there are no new software packages installed.
The drive does play CD-RW's and so on.
This video I recorded only shows the loading light blinking, so no drive openings at the time.

Thanks for any insight.
