    Same thing. As of today, my dvd/cd drive is not recognized by Windows, even though the drive physically opens, closes and spins just fine. I need this working ASAP! Any help, please email me:

    FYI, this is for an Aspire 5520-5912.

My acer aspire 5920 wont play blu rays anymore the driver is there and says its working but it shows only a cd drive on the devices even though it shows the dvd rom in properties

Best first step is to make sure that you have the most current driver from Acer. If you are unsure if it's current just doenload the one that is right for your operating system.
Either way re-install the drive! (YES, even if it said that everything is operating correctly).

Acer Aspire 5520 Vista Cannot Read Disc no matter what

You probably need to swap it out, lasers and spindle motors often go bad.
Get a new drive off ebay (you can even upgrade to lightscribe for like 10$ more at this point): http://shop.ebay.com/items/?_nkw=Acer+Aspire+5520+cd+drive
Looks like you need to take the keyboard off and unscrew the screw holding the cd-drive in.

ACER ASPIRE 5520 CD DRIVE NOT WORKING

hi
if you bought it from new it's still under acer's warranty call them for repair or replacement, if not do a system recovery i think you press ALT + F10 as soon as you switch the laptop on restore it to factory settings if that doesn't work your drive is faulty and will need replacing.
