This isn't such a big deal, but it is annoying... I have this Lite-On drive in my main system that I have all but quit using because of these problems. Basically, it takes a really long time to spin up(seemed to always take a while, even dad's identical one takes a bit) It goes alright once it gets spinning, but sometimes, when I try to skip parts in DVDs or sometimes just randomly, it slows down and starts making horrible noises, almost like bearings are bad or something. It struggles for a bit, usally a minute or so, then it'll get going again. My computer is usally locked up during this, but it'll kick back in once the drive gets going...
It started a few years back and has gotten somewhat worse over time. I popped it open once wondering if it was that top stabalizer thingy, but it looked fine. Any ideas? I'm cheap and don't wish to buy another
