Hi, my Plex 24/10/40's light flashes on and off and won't read/write discs. Device Manager reports that it working properly but when I try to view any disk in the drive via My Computer it says to put a disk in the drive. Also, if I leave the PC off for about 24 hours, it occasionally ressurects itself. All advice appreciated.

I'm no expert by any means,but maybe your documentation has a listing for the blinkies,and what they mean.My burner has both amber and green lights that pulse in different patterns indicating different things.:)

If ya don't ask..How ya gonna know.

try going to the plex website and grabing the latist bios. there was somting in one of them, a while back, that was ment to fix the bug that your drive seems to suffer from.

Now thats what I want to know!
