Emax

The drive does have the power light now but there is no activity when I load the disc. It 
doesn't even let me press Load all or Enter. It's like it's crashed. I tried turning it on and off 
and I have also tried using other disc that I  have succesfully loaded and still nothing. :(

So, it seems like the Drive is okay but liek I said, it freezes at "INSERT DISK" and then I 
can't get out of it.

Thanks for your responce.
