In order to play a DVD you need to have a software dvd player Like WIN DVD, otherwise DVDs will not play

try to clean it with cd cleaner. after that try your known good cd maybe its just the cd/dvd that has the problem. if still doesn't work try using cd first then dvd. because some combo drive fail to read cd but can read dvd or vice versa. also check for the cd or dvd speed, type and class.

This drive reads a dvd but not cds. do you have
may be it's only a DVD ROM drive not a combo,
you will need a combo to read both DVD and CD
if it was reading CDs earlier then the CDs might have scratch in them, try with new CD.
did u make changes to the cables inside, if you did check if the cabels are connected properly to the drive

DELL laptop does not read blank DVDs
the combo drive you listed above is a cd-rw/ DVD-ROM....meaning that it will play and burn cd, cd-r, and cd-rw disks. the dvd rom will only be able to play dvd-rom and dvd-r disks providing they are in the proper format. check that the disk in question is not a dvd-rw or (+2) disk. the drive will not recognize that a disk is in the drive if the disk isnt compatable. try a dvd movie, if that works then a dvd-r, if that works then try a dvd-rw +1. if the last option doesnt work then you will have to stick with the dvd-rom and dvd-r, or purchase a dvd-rw drive to install.

GOOD LUCK AND DONT FORGET TO RATE MY POST!! :D

Dvd problem
not an easy one to fix,

first you'll need to find out if it's the lens adjustment or a laser problem. this will require you to open up the drive, and test it running open, use protective glasses to shield your eyes from the laser.

buying a new one is faster less time consuming and about 20 dollars. Removing it and connecting the new one, anyone can do 4 screws, and to diff cable that only fit one way.

My internal DVD/CD player, reader, writer is no longer functioning properly after youtube's ".DASH" files Using Real Player + and have always been able to play videos both downloaded or purchased. After YouTube started using the ".DASH" file format which requires the audio (MP3) codex and the Video (MP4)codex to download and convert separately before the video can be viewed. If the video goes to your library before this process completes, it becomes a useless .DASH file. But I thought the problem ended with downloading video. However, since this I cannot play videos that the player used to play without issue.
