This DVD Rom is known for getting dirt and dust on the laser then to stop working correctly, I would like to say you should replace it, DVD roms are under 40 bucks and all work basically the same, just be sure that you get the right connector for it (there is four different kinds and two of them haven't been used for several years) then be sure to place the drive jumper in the right position, the instructions are almost always written on the drives case..
However if yo do not want to replace it then get a CD/DVD cleaner disk that has the microfiber brush on the cleaning disk and follow the directions. or if you really want to try to clean the laser by hand open the case and use a Qtip (not a generic one, the Qtip has more on the end of the stick) use windex window cleaner on the end of one and carefully and very lightly clean the lens, do not push on the laser, it is mounted on a magnetic holder and cannot take more than a few micrograms of pressure, after the windex (not a generic) rinse the lens twice with distilled water on a Qtip DO NOT, use hardly any pressure and do not use alcohol the laser is extremely sensitive to alcohol and pressure. Re assemble ad reinstall, if this doesn't work then you will need a new one.

I have a Sony RDR-GX360. Some how I have changed the command mode from DVD1 to DVD 3. Now my remote has frozen and I can't do anything with the DVR player. Is there a reset button or please help.

To fix the Sony remote dvd-1 dvd-2 dvd-3 issue is to take the remote for that recoreder into another room or unplug the dvd recorder a moment. Then hold down the enter key and the number of the mode its stuck in ie if its stuck in dvd-1 mode hold down the enter key and then the 1 key. hold both buttons together for 3 seconds. After this go back into the room and try it or if you unpluged tthe player replug it back in. The remote has to be away from the player to work. again example

get away from player different room so it can not sence remote. Hold down enter and 1 button for 3 seconds and then try it
if its stuck in dvd-2 mode dold down enter and the number 2 button together for 3 secondsd and try it. The idea is you have to be far away from the recorder so it dosent recieve any inputs from the remote while doing this.bigsmile.gifclap.gifagreed.gifpuh2.gifbowdown.gifeek.gif To fix the Sony remote dvd-1 dvd-2 dvd-3 issue is to take the remote for that recoreder into another room or unplug the dvd recorder a moment.

A new sata LG dvd room,it work correctly,but i can't boot from it

First make sure that the DVD drive is the only drive listed to be booted from. Make it the first and only drive. Unfortunately most motherboards have an issue with booting from a SATA DVD drive. Secondly turn off Sata RAID if you have it. If this doesn't work then your motherboard isn't capable. It is too old and from what I can tell from the manual it is running SATA 986p, which is only 150mp/s thats not even Sata 1.5. Early Sata controllers couldn't do installations of OSs at all.

In your bios change the settings for boot order, 

1: DVD Rom
2: n/a
3: n/a
4...
5...
6...

This will force a boot off the only drive available which is the dvd rom.
