Dvd rw not detecting, not working, led glows continously, aspire 4710

If you installed the DVD-RW it sounds like the cable may be installed incorrectly or the cable select jumper on the back may be set to the wrong setting (DVD drives are usually set to SL or CS). If the DVD drive is original equipment then it may be faulty or an errant reading by the operating system. You might go into the system BIOS (usually the enter setup option at just after powering the system on) and check the drive status to be sure that the drive is reading at POST (boot time). If the drive shows in the bios, then the problem may be with the OS.

Good Luck

My built-in dvd will not work.

hello,

The most common reason for the system not reading discs is a bad drive. The following website sells the drives and does installs:

store.richspsxparts.com/wiiredvddr

This drive should fix any reading issues you are having with your games, or issues inserting your games or ejecting them (or lack thereof). This is the entire DVD drive assembly mechanism replacement for your system including a new laser. If your discs are not ejecting, or you cannot insert a disc -- or you can insert a disc but it will not load, this is what you need to get your system going again!
Hope this will help....

Try opening your PC case and tighten the connection of the DVD ROM. Or you may download Registry mechanic. I think it has something to do with your registry.

Teac DW-224E-c - cannot burn DVD's

The answer is what you profess. The drive can burn CD's, read CD's and also read DVD's. Everytime I try and burn a DVD I have an unrecognized drive and the properties always show no disk: The drive burns CD's ie;music, but cannot burn DVD it can only read DVD like you say!
