DVD/CDRW combo can't read files

My DVD/CDRW combo drive will not recognize CDs. I place CDRs and
manufacturer CDs in the drive, but when I click on the drive to view
the files...nothing. Autoplay also does not work. I can view the same
CDs on a different computer.

It is a Dell Precision M50 Mobile Workstation.

Any suggestions?

May 2002 original combo or a newer replacement?

It's the original HDLC-4240 drive by Hitachi. I already swapped it out
with another and the same problem occurs. I tried to flash the driver,
but no difference.
