I have a Windows XP computer. A few days ago my mom put it so "sleep" by activating the "stand by" mode, the next morning when I went to turn it on, i pressed the button on the disc drive but it wouldn't work! The moniter light is on but the disc drive wont work. My dad says it might just have blown a fuse. Can anyone give me some tips on how to get it started again? Or what the problem might be?? Thanks :-(
oh and by the way, im not a blonde... wait yes i am.. thats not the point! I am on my Mac
with cordial attitude,
Cheerio!!
(- ;-) -)

unplug the computer and count to 30 then plug back in and let it reboot.
if all's that's broken is the sleep or standby modes this is the easy fix

Have you started the whole tower (assuming it's a desktop) back up? Because none of the drives (like the disc drive) will come back on until the computer is on again.
If the problem continues, force-restart it by holding the computer power button in for a few seconds, release it, and then press it again. :)

verify the plug is seated all the way. I even have fastened sound subjects via in basic terms plugging the cord in all the way as a results of fact it got here unfastened. different than that, indexed here are some issues to contemplate. a million. The audio gadget might desire to easily be undesirable. that is why you pay attention static. attempt them on something else (laptop, MP3 participant, CD participant) to verify in the event that they paintings. 2. replace the audio drivers. in the event that they get corrupted you could lose sound or have very poor high quality. 3. might desire to be the sound card going undesirable.
