Lite-On CDRW shutting itself off

[Jobe]

I have a Lite-On 48x12x48x CD-RW (model 48125W) that randomly shuts itself off. Pressing the open tray button will do nothing and it will not read any CD left in the drive. I am forced to reboot to bring the drive back to life. It will stay working for a while, but stops working after a period of inactivity. It's set up as a master on the secondary IDE. I have also updated to the latest firmware to no avail. Any suggestions?

Having issues with my burner, I change it to slave on the secondary IDE and put the CD rom as master on the same channel. i get a message when burning but click off and it seems to run OK. Try that ??

Lite-Off Sucks. Expect those results when you go cheap, I know I will never go with em again.
