My HP Pavilion's dvd drive ejects constantly by itself - what is the solution to fix it?

Answer by  daddydaycare (46)

First try hitting the eject button a few times to see if it is sticking. If that doesn't work go through the "start" menu to the control panel and into the device manager. Click the DVD/CD drives tab click on your device click the driver tab and click update driver.

Try reinstalling the drivers. If it still ejects by itself then it is probably a hardware issue and you might need to replace the drive.

There are two chances for it. There is a chance for script attack which makes the drive to eject automatically. Also there is a chance for problem in the drives motor. Script can be stopped by ending it in task manager. If not a script problem motor can be replaced.

My best suggestion would be to check the DVD drive, or have it checked by a Computer Technician. It may be an internal problem where something is making contact with the eject button. If all else fails you can try replacing the DVD drive itself. This isn't hard, but you will need a new drive to put in.

This could be a variety of problems. Most likely a combination of spyware & viruses. Scan your pc for any malicious software.
