Hey all, new member here. Have a puzzling one for you all...
For some unknown reason, neither of my DVD drives are working at all. Just as an FYI, I currently have a Sony DDU1621 DVD-ROM drive and an LG GSA-4040B DVD writer. The first drive to die was the Sony which was about a week ago. Yesterday, my LG writer seemed to be knocked out as well. I had tried several different types of media in it (DVD movie, Doom 3 CD, Windows XP CD) and none of them worked. I opened explorer to view the contents of the discs and they all came up as nothing. It recognizes that there's a disc in the drive (no "please insert a disc into drive" message) but cannot read it. I had downloaded & installed the LG firmware drivers to see if that would fix the problem, but it did not. I have tried pretty much everything I can think of to get them to work again, but to no avail. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!
