ejecting cd freezes xp - m1530

Hi all,

Does anyone else have the above issue? Ejecting any cd/dvd media causes the whole pc to freeze until the disc is finished ejecting. This includes any music or video that might be playing at the time. Is this by design? If not, how can I avoid this happening? Perhaps a driver update or something? I'm running XP Pro on an XPS m1530.

Thanks.

 

Pssst......search the forums. There a few similar threads already as people with m1330's have had the same issue.

 

I did search but didn't find anything. Found a thread about it after searching again. I want to know if ALL 1530s are like this: Does anyone have an m1530 that does not pause/skip while ejecting a dvd/cd using the eject media touch button? You can simply play a music file and eject the disc to test this.

 

I'm using Vista, it happens to me too. If you're listening to something where you don't want to the skipping to interrupt you, you can also open up My Computer, right click the drive and eject it that way which will result in no freezing of any kind.

 

yeah I realise the software eject doesn't cause this...but imho this shouldn't happen with the hardware button either. I've never seen this before this other computers.

 

I have the issue too. Im on vista, but my whole cd doesnt freeze. just my music playing skips until the cd is fully out....

 

Same happens with me and Windows XP. I haven't tried it with Linux.

 

I have the issue too. I run Vista and the music gets choppy untill the CD\DVD out.. poor XPS looks constipated when it tries to eject the CD:laugh:

 

Probably the dumbest question you'll ever get but where is the eject buttom? I just got my XPS 1530.

 

Hello Guys. Just bought an XPS 1530 in Feb and provides the same issue with the eject button. Moreover I am unable to install the Bluetooth driver. (set in the BIOS but never came up in the device manager). When trying to install the driver from the CD (which was not supplied in the original package by default ) a window pops up asking to press Fn+F2 but nothing happens.
What I've done so far:

1. called Dell Support > absolutely useless (holding the line for about 45 mins). as starting the troubleshooting from the very beginning (Repair your computer, etc...) and stating they have never heard about this problem...

2. After 3 days hanging on the phone was resulted that finally an engineer was sent today and replaced the Mat****a drive for a SONY. Problem still exists. He had no clue what can cause this even the problem with the bluetooth.

3. He'll back on monday to replace the Motherboard and the Bluetooth adapter. Fingers crossed. Details will follow...

rstrauss33 >>> the first blue icon on the left will solve your problem

 

haha. got mine two days ago. the very first time i went to eject a cd i stared at the side of it baffled. i eventually ejected from the context menu in vista. it wasnt until later when i was playing with the media controls that i noticed the eject button up there.

 

LOL..same here ...it is on the quick set panel...at the top of the keyboard...cheers!

 

Thanks guys..I was almost afraid to ask . I actually used the control panel way before.

 

Nothing helped, they gonna replace the whole system...

 

Sounds like the bluetooth radio is disabled by software. This will happen if you reinstall Vista with bluetooth disabled.

The problem can be solved by updating the bios to version A12. It can be found on dell's website.
