You don't need to get a codec for your DVD drive but for your operating system. You can get the latest one here. Just click the Download [ K-Lite Codec Pack 6.9.0 Full ] It comes with Windows Media Player Classic and a host of decoders needed to play any video or audio file.
Extra Another great application I found on the net is called VLC Media Player, it can literally play ANY media file, especially HD videos that Media Player Classic can't handle, and the best thing is that it is totally 100% FREE, it can be found here.
If Windows detects and installs your hardware, let it do so and relax.
If you install Nero, and it then detects and installs your hardware, again let it do so and relax.
If neither of the above work, next time you use windowsupdate.microsoft.com you will normally get a good driver for anything that is currently not working.
If you wanna download, try this: http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/224420/liteon-sohc-5235k-combo-firmware-lk04-free-download.html
However, this claims to be firmware, while then giving instruction on installing a driver so I can't be sure which it is. I haven't tried this last link.
A Combo drive is a type of optical drive that combines CD-R/CD-RW recording capability with the ability to read (but not write) DVD media
Lite-on SOHC-5236V is a dvd/cd-rw combo drive so it can read and write CDs and read DVDs (but cannot burn DVDs)

Straighten-out a thick paperclip and push it into the small hole just below the tray, usually towards the center-left. It must be pushed in straight, and when you meet resistance, use a little force. This is the drive's "emergency open" system. Get the disk out and then replace the drive with a different brand like Samsung, HP, Plextor, etc.
got to start->run and type "regedt32.exe", then press enter
Locate the UpperFilters value under the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
Locate the LowerFilters value under the same key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
Quit Registry Editor
I would suggest cleaning the drive with a cleaning dvd, $19.99 at most retailers. Or you can open up your computer and verify all connections to the drive are good, disconnect and re-connect to be sure.
Hope this helps.
