CD-ROM not reading CD's

[JimJRJ]

This just started a couple days ago. I have a CD-ROM drive and and a DVD/CD-RW combo drive. The CD ROM is set up as the master drive and the dvd/cdrw as the slave drive.

Whenever I put a CD in the cdrom it doesn't recognize it and the autoplay doesn't work anymore. I can see the light on the CDROM like its searching the cd but it doesn't recognize it. When I go into my computer and click on the drive and click on open it tells me to insert a cd, even though one is already in there. I checked my bios settings and they are okay, and when I check the cdrom in the device manager it says it is functioning properly. The dvd/cdrw works okay in reading the cd's and playing them.

Is there anything I'm missing to check on or is my cdrom just dead and I need a new one?

I had a liteon that did the same thing and it was blown out. Sounds like the samr thing here. I would rma it or return it if its still under warranty.

[Mr. Goodbytes]

Are these CD's in question one's you've burned yourself? Or are they factory originals such as music or software?

[JimJRJ]

All the cd's are from the factory, no burnt ones.

I don't have a warranty on it any longer. If I have to get a new one its not too big of a deal since they are not that expensive. Just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something for I do.

One of our CD drives was acting the same way. I just dumped it and got a new one.

[JimJRJ]

Went out and bought a new CD and replaced, all is good now. Thanks.

should have said this sooner,get a liteon,there the best and cheapest.

[JimJRJ]

Yep, that's what I did soulja, heard good things about lite on. Thanks. The one that went belly up was a benq, first time I ever had a cdrom go bad on me.
