check the connectivity with motherboard of dvd writer

your dvd drive make?
i think the dvd drive has diff lens for dvd and cd so the cd lens is having a problem
the things that u can try to resurrect it are cleaning the lens with a cd lens cleaner or claim warranty if it is still under warranty

is ur drive a samsung one !! and yes, do get a CD lens cleaner, phILIPS CD lens cleaner is available in the market for Rs.120/-

I once had this same problem, and after getinng a CD lens cleaner, everything was working fine..


Cheers n e-peace...

What is your DVD model no? I am having Sony DRU190A DVD writer and have the same problem. My friend said that the laser might be a problem. when I insert a dvd, it is not even trying to read it. I have returned it to the service center. Need to wait till it returns.
