In that case the infrared laser - the one for the cd - is dead and this is unfixable.
Time for a new dvd-rw unit, it's just $30.

The inspiron e1405 notebooks were shipped with 2 different types of optical drives:
8x dual-layer DVD+/-RW
24x CD-RW / DVD-ROM

the later will not write DVDs

Try this link below. This will help. Also get ASPI at link below that too can help. have you installed NERO? OR Clone DVD or UltraISO, install those anyway. http://en.kioskea.net/faq/1640-aspi-drivers-for-player-cd-dvd-burning

do check if dvd-rw drive supports the dvd you want to burn to ( either dvd+ or dvd- !)and do use a freeware burnprobgram like burnatonce instead of the build-in windows one...
burnatonce will tell you all about your drive (see tools - device info) and the disc you've put in!

happy burnin'

i wish i could help you.. but my sony is haven problems too. im running windows xp.. service pack 3.. i've already updated all drivers.. uninstalled it from device manager.. n it still isn't reading any cd-r cd-rw cd's.. my windows does read the device.. n it pops up everytime i load the computer up!

Yes does not read DVD-R because if your LS50 Labeled like this (DVD/CD-RW) means that can read only all DVD Disc and cannot write on DVD blank only CD blank.


You can burn only on the blank CD-RW or any blank CD.

When it does not recognise the blank CD thats a driver problem update your drivers then try again.....
