As the DVD and CD components for reading disks on a combo drive are different it's highly likely that just the DVD portion has failed. This is not uncommon.

you could try downloading codecs to play your dvd, some dvds require special codecs to play dvds, if you look for a program called klite codecs and install that it may work.. hope it helps

Did you restore back to factory settings because the DVD wasn't working, or did it stop working after the restore?

Please read all of posts pertaining to your problem. I would also be interested in the answer to Nevs inquiry in post #4.

 

Ilovemovies (Post #3) has come up with what may be the answer to your problem in suggesting the K-Lite codec pack. Link below for download.

Only use the Download Now (19.22MB) link.

I thought I knew today...I'll try again tomorrow. :)
