i have a sony dvd +- rw model dru510A. suddenly the drive just stopped working and the read indicator light keeps flashing. the drive will not eject, also when i powerdown the pc and start it back up the drive still continues to constantly flash. any ideas
 
Since the lights are coming on, we should be able to rule out the pwr (you might want to double check). Can you stick a paper clip in the emergency eject hole to force an eject? Swap the drive for another CDROM and see if the problem persists.

Your DVDROM may have a mechanical problem; if that's the case you'll want an RMA if under warranty
