Dear all
I am having LG combo drive. Once i used some DVD media which couldn't read.
Then i found later that even all good DVD media is not detecting by my
computer. I tried removing the drive and reinstalled it through device
manager. Also, i removed and reinstalled the Power DVD also. But nothing
found works.
BUT Whenever i use CD in the same drive, its working fine. only DVD disc is
not working. Even if i insert a DVD and open it through Explorer, its not
working or found no disc. I am using Win XP SP2.

It may be simply failure of the DVD laser assembly. In that case, the
solution is to replace the drive; repair is prohibitively expensive.
