hi there!!
well after researching my problem on the net all morning, it seems like the problem i have is a very common one but no1 has any definite answers for it! anyway the title pretty much explains my problem, last night i popped in a dvd (that i've watched several times on this laptop) so i restarted the computer and tried to put in another dvd but even though the computer still recognizes the dvd drive, nothing happens. i tried this with lots of other clean, non-scratched dvds, some copied and some original, all with the same result. i've had this laptop for nearly 2 years and have used it heavily in the last 2-3 months. and i'm on windows xp and i haven't experienced any other problems with this laptop, it's very random and sudden that this happened! also, i normally use tried playing dvds on windows media and it hasn't worked. i'm not really sure if this is a hardware or software issue. i've also put in lots of cds and they work fine. if someone could enlighten me as to how i can fix this problem it would be greatly greatly appreciated!! thanks so much!!
cheers!
