That one i have too since 2013. After two years it lost its ability to recognize BD media. But a house move and three years on the shelf caused a miracle cure. Now it is back in service.

And again, the "24" is in the name. This could give birth to an interesting urban legend. Google says it was available in 2010. This is much older than my two self-loaders. My LG GH24NSC0 is from 2015. The ASUS DRW-24D5MT is from last week. > HL-DT-ST_DVD-ROM_GDR-H30N > retracted in a much shorter time the 200 secs you mention. > Certainly less than 90 seconds. I find firmware for it from 2006. But less than 90 seconds looks like this could have a different cause. It would be interesting to learn whether both drives perform the auto pull-in when only BIOS (or EFI) is running and waiting for some boot decision. songbird wrote: > it will sit there until i do something to it.

If i only could find any tangible description. Best would be to find a (proprietary) SCSI command which disables or enables it. Have a nice day :) Thomas
