Guest Wolfeymole Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I would definitely say the drive is shot mate as if the lens is gone it therefore cannot read data which will then obviously start the disk spinning, if all your getting is a light then that's just an electrical connection and nothing more. You can't uninstall it because it's not listed in Device Manage whatsoever. If this were a desktop unit I'd say check the cables but it's not and unless someone can offer advice to the contrary that is my opinion. Quote

regorbigdaddy Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 No that fit, i need to find another the same to fit like the one i got, as the plastic tray at the front has an extra plastic bit fitted, the ones i found do not come with it so will leave a hole in the laptop. Quote

Guest Wolfeymole Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Then I suggest you obtain one from an authorised Toshiba dealer. Quote

BeeCeeBee Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I was just turning laptop on, & just saw this orange light on the side wondered what it was, Just for your own sake, the orange light on the side is probably the wireless network card in a Toshiba laptop and not associated with the drive at all. The only light for a dvd/cd drive is on the drive itself. Quote "Familiarity breeds contempt - and children." Mark Twain
