DVD doesn't work

KnockAr0und · 06-11-2005, 05:29 PM

I built a new computer and bought the A8N-E mobo from ZIPZOOMFLY, connected all the stuff and started the computer. I pressed the button, but it didn't open, there was no light either from the DVD LED.

What do you think? It's a problem with the mobo ?

Okay have you got the power connected?
Make sure the drive is configured correctly, if it's set as master then put it at the end of the IDE cable, if it's slave (with another drive) then put it in the middle of the cable.

If there's no light you probably didn't plug the molex power connector properly into the DVD drive.
