DVD-RW drive autoclosing

[NEM1S1S]

Have a Liteon LDW - 451S DVD-RW drive. When you open the drive it auto-closes after about 3-4 seconds. Any way of adjusting that?

I have an answer.....dont go to radio shack (for anyone with a sense of humor) The drawer does not open far enough. The unit (heh heh) does in turn, retract the drawer so that it does not burn out the motor trying to eject....either check your setup (being something may be hindering the ejection) or return the dvd -rw if u can....gauranteed it will be fixed....I made the fatal mistake on a cheapo Khyper

Have you tried updating the firmware, I don't no if it would help but it wouldn't hurt.

after reading alot of posts with same/similar problems on the Liteon site, a typical response came from one user:

-Shut down the computer and disconnect the mains power plug. Remove the Molex (power) plug from the CDRW drive, and also the IDE ribbon cable. Reconnect the mains power and boot the computer to Windows. Shut down again and remove the mains power plug. Reconnect the Molex power connector to the CDRW drive. Reconnect the mains power and boot again. Shut down (last time now), remove the mains power plug, reconnect the ribbon cable to the drive, reconnect the mains power plug and boot. Hopefully that will sort the problem.

However, I firstly supplied the client with the latest firmware, and they have yet to get back to me wether it fixed the problem. This was some time ago now.
