Hi everybody!

I've got a Plextor PX-40TS SCSI drive that doesn't do anything except flashing the DISC and ON/BUSY LEDs on the front. The drive shows up on the PC as normal, but it doesn't open the tray. I need some advice what could be the problem with the drive.

Hi,
my PlexWriter once had the problem that it was non-working but it still identified on the SCSI bus - with 2 flashing LEDs.
I let it in a box for years... but then I tried a firmware flash. That helped...

Thanks for the tip. Firmware update really did made the drive working again. Thanks! 😀
