Optical drive fails to show in BIOS on Dell Latitude E6430 laptop
Having problems with both my Dell Latitude E6430 machines.
Since a few days both of them fail to show the optical drive in the BIOS and anywhere else.
Have been trying to find out why this happens as they both worked fine and, as far as I can see, still do.
When I load a dvd the green light lits up several times but soon after shuts down, when opening the dvd burner after that, I can see it was spinning.
So wondering why this occurs.
Can it be an internal defect in the connector?
How to check for failing connectors?
Is there anyway to solve this problem without having to send it in for repairs?
