i just recently burned an MP3 DVD on my CD/DVD Optical Drive this morining,after coming back from work,my CD/DVD Drive no longer detect/read DVDs and CDs..
i already did the following:

-tried to insert DVDs or CDs,still not detecting/reading any discs with or without data in it.
-uninstall DVD driver,reboot computer,still nothing.

computer detects the drive but the drive is not detecting/reading discs.the said drive interacts with computer when clicking the drive letter(DVD ROM opens) but when i try to insert CD/DVD with data in it,DVD ROM light blinks and but cant read the CD/DVD inserted.

i have Windows 7 Pro 64bit
Acer Travelmate P243-3110M

Thanks in advance,
Tiago A.

Thanks for the reply..

I sorted out the problem on my DVD Rom Drive and its the Dynamo(the one that rotates the DVDs) that isn't working...

I'll just have to buy/repair the said part..

tnx,
