IIf the system will play regular cd's and regular movies(non blueray) the problem is the blueray portion of the laser assy. If it won't read anything, you probably have a bad laser assy all together. Either way, you will have to replace the whole laser carriage assy. I think they go for about $70 on ebay. Fairly technical fix if you want to do it yourself. If not, find a local PS3 repairman to perform the work. Good luck!

Window shows NO DISK when there is a disk in the unti

If the CD manually loads correctly, the pickup(laser has gone bad) and no longer has enough power left to read the disc the TOC, (table of contents), showing no disc on the display. If you're interested in a repair, please contact me through my website, audioserviceclinic.com. Thank you.

I purchased my WD it worked fine? when i plug in my wd HD it wont read it now?

The disk is mechanical as such it gets easily damaged. If the damage  appears it no longer be removed, it will only get worse till you disk is completely dead. This is what happened to your disk.
Sorry, nothing can be done to save it, it and the data was carrying are gone.

My computer display error disk reading while it is

check your disk for scratches etc and make sure it is clean. Then, using the disk, reformat the hard disk and re-install from there. DONT take the disk out of the drive unless the installation program asks you too. Once the install program releases control and you have entered any names and passwords, then you can remove the disk. Once everything is finished, make sure you re-install your mainboard drivers next. If you no longer have this disk, you can download them from the PC's manufacturer or the mainboards manufacturer.

Drive no longer recognized by system. Have to open manually and does not read any disks.

It might be either a driver problem or your disk drive dying. Try going to the Fantom website to get and install new driver. Be sure to back up the old drivers first when asked! If this does not work, then your drive might have worn out and you may need to buy a new one.

Acer System discs

FWIW i found a AA 5630 in the trash that had no HDD. I did not need Acer recovery disks and you may not either. Pick whatever OS you like then add the drivers you need that you by downloading from acer. Because i dislike the proprietary software the laptop companys provide, I just extract the drivers only, from the executables provided by Acer to a folder on my desktop then i use the device manger to load the driver. Long story longer, i torrented my current OS, salvaged a 5gig HDD from another discarded notebook to use for a tester, loaded it with the Sept edition of XPlite (visit the Nlite webpage), unrar-ed then installed the drivers from the driver programs and this Acer notebook is fantastic. If i had the original disks i would choose not to use them, unless whoever happens to read this can give me a reason i should.
