Laptop wont play dvd

I've owned my Lenovo v570 for a little over a year now and had no issues until about a month ago when it stopped recognizing DVDs. IT started when I got a new video game in DVD format and the drive would spin but continuously say there was no disc in the drive. I've also attempted with movies I have verified as working and it still says no disc. It does read CDs when I rip them but it takes a lot longer to rip than it used too. It used to play dvds and cds perfectly, I'm not sure what's changed. I've accessed the component properties in the control panel and it says it is functioning properly and the drivers are up to date. Please help.

First check that the lens is clear or not if clear. Then check your disk if the problem comes with all CD's then replace the component

SOURCE: Philips SCB5265 DVD/CDRW drive only reads CDs but not DVDs

Take a can of air and blow it on the laser then try to see if it will read both cd's and dvd's. If it doesn't read one or the other then the dvd-rw would need to be replaced.

SOURCE: HP dv4000 laptop CD not reading

Hi

Type of media settings might be the issue but making a change for standard CD/DVD recording (it affects reading too) Issue can be resolved. Right click on the CD/DVD drive (Usually D drive ) click on properties and select and choose the recording option. Click the enable CD recording for this drive option

Click on apply and OK. Try again. You may try after reboot the computer. If issue persist please post so we can think about some alternate solutions.

Good Luck

What type of CD do I need to burn an audio book to CD?

rewritable , you could try either
the computer software will stop it if it wont burn

cant add a screen shot
remember there are drop down menus on the type of format you can burn to any CD

my though is select dvd
that should carry the audio track better than a usb storage

My Lenovo g550 model slimtype dvd ads8a4s is playing CD's only not DVD's, it does not recognize them. What can I do?

Please double check your drive. GOTO My computer and there you will see disk partitions and optical drive type.. I mean your DVD drive does it says DVD or CDROM? Now if thats DVD then you need to check software you are using.. Its better if you can download VLC
Player thats the best software I have tried.. and no region issue.

Philips hts3541 wont play new blu-ray movies

Sounds to me like a laser alignment issue, quickly get a support case going with the Manufacturer as most have a one year warranty whether or not you have a receipt.

I have the same system. I've had no trouble until a year ago, then the system got particular about when it wanted to play DVDs. I've also used lens cleaner to no avail. It plays some DVD's but plays all CD's and some copies. It has given me good service but cost me a lot of money. I hope there is a simple solution to this.

I have a lenovo 3000 n200. The DVD-CD drive have worked fine for 6 months. Now, when i am using it to record a dvd or to play something, after about 30 min playing or the half dvd burning, the drive...

I would clean the lens with a q-tip and alcohol. If that does not help some thermal grease may need to be replaced inside the drive for better heat flow this may not solve the problem and it may be best to replace the drive.
