    The LS50 Cd is connected to the mainboard and held in by a thin metal clip. When hot, this clip can bend and the CD drive can be slightly detached from the mainboard. You need to press the CD drive in firmly to reconnect to the mainboard. Then boot to BIOS using F2. Check to see if the secondary master sayds'"CD Rom". Then F9, enter, F10 and enter. Once booted into Windows, test the CD rom. If the problem persists, have your local LG office log a warranty call to the local Authorised Service Centre.
