Scary CDRW Problem :(

[justinstraub]

I was working on my computer, just surfing the internet, and my cd burner opened but didnt open all the way and started grinding. I turned off the computer and turned on the computer, the usb did not work so i reset the cmos and restarted, it all worked good until a bit later the burning light on the cd burner went on. i restarted and then the read light on the cd went on. I took the cd burner out of the computer and everything works good now, the burner smells like rotten fish. why would this happen? is it just the cd burner going bad or is it something with my motherboard that caused it?

BTW the burner is an Acer 1208A, 1 year old.

thank you

from what you describe I'm betting the burner "sleeps with the fishes"
