Is the burner being detected by your operating system..?
If yes, then I would replace the burner.
If no, then update your operating system and go to the burners manufacturers website and download the appropriate drivers and application software from there. Windows 7 has a habit of ignoring some hardware so make sure all drivers are upto date.
The laser head in all optical drives do wear out and lose their potency so it may be that this drive has simply had it's day and needs to be replaced.

Replaced coils & igniter but dryer won't heat. Tested all thermostats and they read good. Can't see if the igniter is glowing or not.

check psu to ignitor and the main burner valve sets and resets
you can do this manualy by removing the thermocouple and testing the burners does it try to strike??? and doesnt burn or does the burner try to come on then go out if it wont strike perhaps the door catch isnt right you dont give a make model etc details so its hard to even guess,,,?

I want to burn a karaeoke disc

The problem isn't the burner. You need karaoke software to burn and view cdg files. Below is a link to free karaoke software. Install the software (or a software package of your choosing) and re-burn your files.

How can i make my Lite-on-SOHR-5238s CD-RW burner read and burn stuff on a DVD+R/DVD-R? Cause when i put it in my computer doesnt recognize it.

Hi Justin If it's a CD-RW burner then you can't burn any DVDs in it. You need to get a DVD burner instead - they are very cheap now.

I have just purchased an HP Desktop computer and when I burn a Cd for music, everyting seems to work ok but when I try to play that CD on another player in my home, it won't play. Is there a setting...

Check the type of the blank CD/DVD you are using. Certain players won't be able to play CD-RW for instance.

If that doesn't solve the problem you might try to slow down your burn speed for a better quality CD/DVD. Sometimes a faster burn speed will lower the quality and other devices can have trouble reading these.

MY CD. CD-R/RW drive unit CRX230EE can not read any cd except original CD only inspit of i use lens cleaner....thanks

Some CD drivers can not read burned CD's, maybe they were burned by an incompatible burner. Try upgrading your CD drive, they are available cheaply from NewEgg or Amazon.
