LiteON cdrw/dvd died?

Hi all,
I have a LiteOn cdrw/dvd combo drive (48/24/48/16) here for about a month and a half but a couple of days ago it appears to not read anything anymore.

I hear the cd inside spin for a very short while then stops, spins again, stops,... for a couple of times. The light also flickers as if it's reading.
I was wondering if it's just plain broken or dirty inside. I plan on getting one of those cleaning cds and see if it works but if some are sure it's broken then I don't need to get it.

Thx

It sounds like it's dying, all my portable cd players do that when they die. RMA it.

The only other (small) posibility might be that the power and/or IDE connector might be loose.

Nah, it's allright, tested in 2 pcs and both do the same crap

Ow well, it's the first thing I've ever broken since I have a computer (~one and a half years, man, where have I been before that lol) so it's ok...

Next stop: DVDburner-ville lol

Staying with the same awesome company?

lol
I'll see when I have the money to buy one
There's a chance I stay with LiteOn, I have a regular cd burner from them and it's working fine for 1.5 years now and doing its job good.

For what is worth, I am VERY happy with my 4x LiteON 451S DVD burner
