Not reading DVD disc

External Since: Sep 01, 2006 Posts: 4

I've previously viewed DVDs on this computer, but now when I put in a DVD,
the computer doesn't read it. Actually, I'm not really sure if "read" is the
right word, but whatever, it says there's no disc in the drive. ??? I've
tried putting multiple DVDs in, same thing every time, so I'm pretty sure
it's not the disc. Any helpful hints?

Sounds like either the DVD laser is very dirty or has died. You can try a
CD cleaning kit....or just replace the drive.
