PBDS DH-48c2s( dell) cd drive cannot read blank disk

[caphookpeter]

Hello,
I managed to fix the cd/dvd drive at first and now it reads cd/dvd with something stored in it. However my problem comes when I try to burn something on blank disk. My computer( dell dimension e521) wont read the blank disk at all. I need help and please !

* I tried the Upper and Lower filter and cleaned the disk lens and saw that all SATA cable are good. Almost did all the possiblity out there please help!!!

It has worked in the past I take it? What did you do to make it read disks where it would not at first?

Your drive may have failed. You can get a new one for less than $20. You may also have some blank media the drive does not like. Have you tried a different brand of blank DVD/CD?
