I just bought a new computer game. I tired to open the CD ROM...but it will not open and there was not blinking light. What is wrong? What can I do?

Open the case and make sure the cables are secure. If this doesnt work, your cdrom is probably a goner!

Hello
First Few Things to Check weather your CD-ROM is working or not.. whenever you open the windows or operating system does it show cd-rom icon..yes (that you cd-rom has fault) but if NO than do one more thing just restart and in boot you check weather your System is Detecting the CD-Rom or not..if it is yes (than you cd-rom has fault)..NO than there is 2 solution one power cable is not inserted Properly open the case and you see red black bunch socket press it little hard..and reboot...still same problem try to switch the cable...and reboot..if still same problem than your CD-ROM inbuilt problem replace the pc it must be on Gurantee
with regards

Maybe ur drivers have uninstalled or the CD drive is just bust, try going onto the cdrom drivers and unistall it on its property page, then reboot ur comp, once its booted back up, the computer should automatically recognise it and reinstall, that might help, u will find ur CDdrive on hardware on control panel. Also, if the light comes on, but the tray wont open, look on ur cddrive, there might be a tiny tiny tiny hole, this is used for manual opening. If u push a pin in there, it will pop open just by pulling it. =]

There is usually a little tinny hole on your CD drive door. Press through the hole with a small nidel/pin and it should open.
If not, your CD ROM is fried and you need to have your system checked out.
Good luck

Its probably disconnected. Open the case, or get someone to do it for you if you dont wanna do it, and check the connection. Make sure both the power and IDE cables are well plugged.

DL,
Dont open the case yourself. You dont want to void any warranty you might have, or get hurt.
Double-click "My Computer". If there is no icon for CD, then take it in to a shop for repair. If there is an icon, right-click on it and select eject. If it doesnt open then, take it in for repair.
