9. Insert a blank Plextor-recommended DVD±R or CD-R disc. Be sure
to use only media of the type recommended by Plextor.
If the LED indicator blinks amber three times, the loaded disc is
not a blank DVD±R or CD-R disc. Remove the disc and insert a
blank, Plextor-recommended DVD±R or CD-R disc.
10. The drive begins the diagnostic routine. Upon completion of the
diagnostic, you see the results:
If there was no problem, the disc is ejected automatically.
If there was a problem, the disc is not ejected, and you see the
LED indicator blink green. One green blink indicates a write or
read error. Two green blinks indicate an initialization error.
11. If the disc was not ejected automatically, press the eject button to
eject the disc.
12. Turn off the computer power.
13. Reset the mode jumper at the rear of the PX-716A to its original
setting as noted in Step 4 above. Also, remove the extra jumper you
installed.
14. Reconnect the IDE cable to the PX-716A drive. If you removed the
drive to gain access to the cable or jumpers, replace the drive in the
computer. Then replace the computer cover.
If you discover a problem with the PX-716A drive, do not attempt to
service the drive yourself. Contact us to get an RMA number and take
steps to return the drive to Plextor. See “Returns” on page 131 for
details.
