HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4082N is not working properly. I had no problems with this hardware before but suddenly it cannot read either CDs or DVDs. I checked the Device Mananger and the driver's status is 'working properly'. What should I do?

You could try a cleaning disk in the drive, the laser may be dirty. Check that the cables are firmly connected (this means opening the case). If all these are OK then I am afraid you may need a new drive as it is not really an option to repair these drives.
