Hello!
The best solution is try to clean laser, but if you have again same trouble, you can try update firmware, or change laser. But sometime is bad chip on board.
It is better buy another, than change laser or chip on board.
I think that you dvd read cd, but can read dvd, and also can write cd.

Here is a link to get the drivers to operate the drive.

CLEAN THE DISK WITH WATER, THEN WIPE , THEN ALLOW TO DRY COMPLETELY . THEN INSERT AND TRY. SHOULD WORK.

Test your PSU or replace it if your power supply units fan is not working your PSU is faulty

One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or to shutdown or fail to detect/ boot up a computer hard drive

Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA

the leads from your ((motherboard to your hard drive)) make sure they have a secure connection and are not faulty or just replace them they could be faulty make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty even the electrical extensions or just replace them they could be faulty a computer needs its connections to continue its cycle and have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error another possible reason could be a memory dump you might be running to many programs at the one time placing to much strain on the CPU also you might not have enough RAM random access memory to check what is running when your computer is running scroll to the bottom toolbar right click select task manager applications and processes if you see something you dont need running select end now to check how much ram you have click start right click on my computer select properties you will see all of your computers details another way to check how much RAM you have click start all programs accessories system tools system imformation all of your computers imformation will be there try uninstalling a few unnecessary programs then click start run type cmd then type chkdsk/r/f which will scan for and attempt to fix any bad sectors and automatically fix any corrupt files on your hard drive this will schedule on a restart don

Hi bcwailing ,

The problem that you have described, indicates that your DVD-RAM is not working properly, perhaps the lens has been damaged or the software that you are using for burning the cd is not functioning properly due to change in settings, I would recommend you to do the following steps and check if it works :-

1. Make sure that the software that you are using to burn the CD , is working properly ,a good idea would be to uninstall and reinstall the software , I believe this should help you out.
2. If the above trick does not work ,then you can use your inbuilt windows cd writer to test write a cd , by right clicking the files you want to burn and select the send to option and then select the write these files to cd or selected the rewritable disc option.
3. If the above method does not work , then you need to get a replacement for your DVD-RAM drive , in case it's under warranty , or you need to buy a new one , if it's damaged out of warranty, there are people who try to ask a third party vendo to chage lens , but it's not assured and could waste your valuable time and money.

Hope this helps...:)

you have not said what the problem is so ill take a guess
if your computer came with a motherboard disc the drivers could be on it make sure that the cd rw is getting enough power test all leads that are attached to the cd rw including electrical extensions and make sure they have a secure connection or just replace them there might be bad/faulty or your drivers may have been corrupted or you might have a virus run your antivrus program you might have to physically unplug the leads for this cd/dvd then plug them back in or you might have to uninstall then reinstall your DVD/CD or uninstall the driver then reinstall for this device click start control panel administrive tools,computer management,device manager scroll down cd dvd rom drives right click you can you can update driver,roll back driver,or select properties general troubleshoot, select driver click to reinstall drivers click update driver or uninstall then reinstall if this does not fix the problem it might be a registry problem Close all open programs

hi, your dvd is need to clean thats why he cannot read a data, you need to buy a cleaner disk for that. thanks

Welcome to fix ya

If your external dvd drive is not detected by windows 7 here is one thing you can try.


1. click on start then on the search field type "regedit". This should open the registry editor

2. on registry editor click on the arrow next to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

3. next click on the arrow next to SYSTEM

4. click on the arrow next to CurrentControlSet

5. then click on the arrow next to Control

6. click on the arrow next to Class

7. now click on 4D36E966-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318 (note that this time you need to click on the folder itself

8. Look at the right pane of the registry editor the look for "upper filters" and "lower filters" entries. (note that you could find either one or both of these entries)


after deleting both keys restart the system and check if it would detect the external dvd drive.

hope this helps.
