LG CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo Drive

HERE IS WHAT YOU DO .!

is it new if its new then look for the customer support center for warranty and if its out of 6 months warranty then clean your DVD combo with cleaner and then check the SATA cable if its attached properly ,,, and also change the power supply wire, just for a check , if problem don't persist then may be you have a power supply issue... cause DVD power usage is a little high, and CD's take low POWER , just some points difference .

do vote if it helps

This is due to a weak lens
Sometimes this type of problem occours due to excessive use of the drive in burning cd/dvd

Trying some leans cleaner may solve your problem

your ouestion is not complete. are dvd rom is played cd's.
if yes plz clean the lence of dvd's rom & adjest lence via scroo.

If not reading DVD is a pattern (it won;t read ANY DVD, no matter if it's a burned one or an original movie) then the lens is dead. I'm afraid you'll have to go get a new one (new drives are very cheap, usually around 25-30$)

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

if you wish to burn cd's which is your burner then you need a software called nero burning rom or any other burning software that lets you burn data or audio cd's or vcd's to burn with if you wish to burn dvd's then you need a dvd burner combo drive which lets you burn dvds
