I have a dell lattitude 600 with a samsung sn-124 cd drive.
i tried to update the firmware and the update failed.
i then rebooted and the bios starts up and then i get a white screen
device not recognized. the light on the cd drive blinks rapidly but the tray wont open. and the message says to power down and try again.
nothing works. i purchased a floppy drive and downloaded the 124p cd-rom firmware and tried booting to usb floppy but before the bios finishes
loading it shows the white screen and says device not recognized.
one option is to get a dell refurbished cd/dvd writer off dell.com for 40bucks but i was hoping to be able to fix the problem quickly and without aditional purchases.
any ideas whould be appreciated
thanks
