Recently my lap top optical drive started popping open. There is a disc in there, but it pretty much always has one in there. I was trying to think of what has recently changed on it, and I recently installed the latest AVG Free since support for 7.5 was stopping. I also clicked the install latest updates option when I shut it down recently as well. Are there any MS updates that could be causing this?
I ran through the open processes on the PC and I didn’t see anything out of bounds or that might be popping the drive open. It also seems to happen sporadically. When I take the disc out, it stops opening the door. Its strange, but it seems to access the disc for whatever reason and then eject it.
Right now it has a DVD movie in there that has been there since I went to Vegas many months ago… and never ejected up until recently. Laptop is an older Averatec 6200 series.
