I bet you can't fix my DVD drive problem

[Guest anoyance@gmail.com]

I recently got a DVD/CD drive that worked perfectly fine... for a

while. I used it for some time and then one night we rented a movie

(Finding Neverland) and watched it on our TV's DVD player. After

watching it my sister came home and wanted to see it so my mom stuck

it in again, but this time it didn't work. The player said that there

was not even a DVD in the player. I decided then to take the DVD and

let her see it on my computer (trying to be nice) and when I stuck the

DVD in my drive, it too said no disk was in it. From that night on

both the player and my drive didn't work. I could and can play CD's in

it just fine, but no DVD works. The strangest and most anoying part of

it all is that the other day the TV's DVD player just started working

again out of the blue. Anyway, I don't expect anyone to be able to

solve this problem, but if you have any ideas you should write me!

Try shutting down your PC and remove the AC power from it for 5 min.

You could also try unistall and reinstalling the DVD/CD itself.
