I have a gateway laptop that we bought new in November. Last week I was looking at some photos i had saved on CDs and everything was fine. Later that evening, I attempted to look at something else on a disk and the computer didn't acknowledge that a i had put a disk in. Im wondering how to fix this.
-   Same problem here. Just yesterday I was working perfectly fine but now it will spin the disc but not read any disc at all. It doesn't even say that there's a disc drive in the pc. -   emceelokey

-   We had to reboot our computer completely and now our optical drive won't read any kind of disc at all. We've tried dvds, cds, and all other kinds of things. When we put the discs in we try opening them using the disc drive on the computer but it doesn't acknowledge the discs.

-   I have an Hp Pavillion dv9000 laptop with Windows Vista. It was reading discs fine, and I was playing Elder Scrolls Oblivion. I put it in hibernate, left for a a few minutes, and when I returned, my computer no longer acknowledges that I have a disc in the optical drive. I'm sure the game disc is in, and I've tried playing other dvd's, but the same problem occurs; it tells me to please insert a disc when I try to play it. I've gone to "Computer" but the dvd drive (G:) doesn't show that there's a disc inserted. Please help.-   DruxKullzus
make sure your driver is still there, you can go to my computer, right click, go to manage and then device manager, or hold down windows key and then hit the pause key. If the driver is bad re-install it. You might need to get a whole new drive which the manufacture will have...

i have a dell laptop and it was dropped and now the charger wont plug into it. it looks like it is easily fixed as the pin inside where you connect the charger too is bent a little. I think if i take the bottom off the laptop then i could fix it myself. Anyway what i want to know is, will i still be able to use my warranty if i remove the bottom and its not fixable? Its only a month or so old.
