The device is CD - RW Drive Plextor Plexwriter
1 - no, the lens is fitted permanently on the reading head.
2 - check in the Device Manager - if the burner is correctly recognized and reported as functional then it's a mechanical problem, not electrical.

My computer is not reading my plexwriter drive
Try this:- Please go ahead and click on start > in start search type in device manager {(in vista ) in case of xp right click on my computer > properties > hardware > devicemanager}.
In device manager click on the + sign beside the cd- dvd > then right click on the driver and uninstall it .
Then in start search type in regedit {(for vista ) for xp in run type in regedit}
Look for some thing like
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Then SYSTEM
Then CURRENT CONTROL SET
Then CONTROL
Then CLASS
Then find {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
The whole thing looks like this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Then on the right hand side look for something like upper and lower filters and delete the upper and lower filters....
Restart the notebook . It will help

Plexwriter 12/10/32S dead?
maybe there's a worn belt inside that keep on turning the motor and indicating an error through the four LEDs. it may need a repair, and in case of worn belt, replace the belt.

It doesnt read install or
That usually means it needs replacement. As long as you see the drive light up and spin trying to read things then you know the problem is in the drive. No lights can be power or cables. You may have noticed that it wouldn't write dvd's then it wouldn't read them, and finally it wouldn't read the cd's.Thats a typical failure pattern. When these drives fail the heads get out of alignment. So the dvd's have problems first as they require a lot more accuracy. The cd's are relatively coarse and tolerate a lot more mis alignment. This is repairable but definitly not worth doing. when these were worth hundreds of dollars we would realign the heads but they are so cheap these days you should just get a new one.
