I have an ET1352G-03w that will read discs but not start applications. What could be wrong?

Have a look to see if there is a firmware upgrade for your router on the Netgear site.

either a mechanism problem---disc not turning etc or an electronic issue --someone would have to open the unit and insert a disc to see what is happening----also unlikely but possible the optical pickup that reads the discs is dirty or near failure---this will usually show up first on blu ray before a regular DVD.

Made a video showing how I fixed this exact problem on mine.

You should contact to repair shop. they can fix problem.

Hello peter4927,

An, "Error 1305" message mean that; your computer is unable to read the "Program Disc" properly.

This error can occur if your CD or DVD is damaged, dirty, or caused by dust.

This can happen, if another program is "preventing your computer from reading the "Program!"
You will also receive this error if the "Disc Drive" is damaged or dirty.
Try cleaning the "Disc" first!
"Use a Disc Cleaner, to clean the CD-ROM / DVD Drive.
Place the "Program Disc in the Disk Drive; then "Restart the Computer!"
This will have the CD, or DVD start-up {Automatically}.
Next, you can try to start the "Disc" by using the "Auto-Run."
To do so; place the 'Disc' in the "Disc Drive Tray."
Next, [right click] on the "Computer Icon" to open the 'computer window'.
Now, right click, on the Disc Drive, and select the either, "Open, Explore or {Auto-run}.
Hopefully it will start.
Repeat each action if necessary!
"If there is anything else, you may need help with?
Write a 'comment,' I'll be here to assist you!"
"Best Regards"

Well its because that there is something wrong with you v cube like the part that reads the disc's are gone now or is weak so it would need a new reading laser.

You put it i your computer. The computer reads the disc to set up your GPS system. If I'm wrong Read the manual.

Im not an expert on CD drives but I have had this case happen in many times. If it sounds like its starting then randomly stops it sound more of a hardware disk problem. You may want to try reinstalling drivers or getting a new computer.

i think you put it the wrong way!!

Hi,
Update the O/S,
Type DXDIAG in the run box, to check your audio.

Device manager, disc drive properties, roll back or update the driver, let it search the internet for it.

Same for sound, device manager, sound,video and audio devices properteis, roll back or search for updated drivers, let it run.
Reduce hardware acceleration poss too for sound.
or poss drive failure.

should be good.
Hope this helps
Ric.
