A generic power supply from **** Smiths or Tandy will do the same thing. You will need to check the required voltage and current or watts on the back of the TV to ensure you get one that has enough power. They generally wouldn't cost you anymore than about AU$50.

run the cleaner Dusc maybe the lense is dirty.

plz rate this post as good as u can so we can help others

It is possible for your optical drive to read only DVDs and not CD. This is most likely a fault with your drive and may need a repair or replacement.

Lite-On DDW-813S mounted in thin sheet aluminum (probably for RF interference reduction.)

Open the drive (dont break it). Eject the tray, under the tray you should see a small belt drive. Replace the belt with a rubberband of approximatly the same size (a little smaller wont hurt). Re-assemble the drive and it should eject fine. Lite-On drives seem to go through these belts pretty quick, I have fixed hundreds this way. Never had one I fixed come back for the same problem.

I have same problem like you, but I have changed the DDW-813s to a new Lite-On DH-20A4P, it work perfectly, good as new. but you have to make some changes to fix it to the place
