Dell Optiplex 755 machines - TSST corp L632 drive-won't read CDs.

First check that your drive is indeed a DVD writer and not a 'hybrid' i.e. CD writer and DVD reader. If it is, go on the manufacturer's site and see if they have Win 8 compatible drivers - Win 8 is a fairly new OS so they may not have had time to get a new one out.

1.If device missing, try to restore system setting your windows or try to reinstall your windows
2. If your DVD can read dvd , maybe optic of your dvd rom is broken.
In this issue, dvd just read cd not DVD !
Ok that it, if the problems persist , just contact me, i will help you my friend.

Upgrade the software from here:

Select CD/DVD

Its maybe the firmware there is outdated.

Good luck.

Go to http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/upperfilters-lowerfilters.htm for the solution. I had a similar problem (Code 39) with my optical drives and Windows 7 64-bit. This solution corrected it.

It does not matter. The laptop drive would have the shiny head on the tray in the sliding part.

I also have the TSST cd/dvd with the same problem but I just realized that is a comflict between all these programs I have installed (Windows Media Player, Sonic and Roxio Easy Creator 6). WMP will not even show it, then I went to Roxio audio central an it worked perfectly. I tried to change the default back to WMP but it wont take it. I believe this happens because Roxio was the last I installed and took control of the sound. Hope this help. I will be uninstalling my WMP and installing it again so that I can keep it as my first choice.

it should read cd's but for it to read dvd's you need to install software like ROXIO or similar

Replacements are UC823 and TS-L632 / TS-L632D , TS-L632D/DEKH.

If you had problem with TS-L632 you may need to update the bios.
