I'm having a simillar problem here.
My dvd burner suddenly refuses to read burned cds and dvds altogether. What happens when I pop a disc in the drive is that it tries to read it (the light is on and you can hear that 'dunk' sound every other second as it, I guess, unsuccessfully attempts to read the disc) but then after a few tries it gives up and the drive is as if it was empty (to the computer). Sometimes there's also a 'squeeky' ish sound as it tries to read. As it stands, the only things it'll accept are authentic cds. And when reading from them it only does so at about 3X. Drive should be about 3 years and I reckon I've burned about 400 or so discs in total. I guess it couldn't be anything but the laser. So would you guys say that it's pretty much done for, or what? Jam it back in, in the dark.  |

I don't see how it could be related to the computer though. The drive has been working fine up until yesterday. I was burning an RW, and as it was doing the lead-out the session failed. And it's been wonky since.
Anyways, I'll just get a new drive. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
