Hello there, can anyone help me with this problem please. I have got a LG dvd rom but apparently it cannot read any dvds nowdays and it keep saying that please insert a media into d drive or the cd is not a valid dvds. I m sure that this dvd worked fine at my mates but it doesn work at my yard. they used to work the same dvds few weeks ago but now they seem to be a unsolvable problem.can anyone help? please?

Try cleaning the disk or getting those new fangled laser cleaners. They spin in your drive cleaning the laser inside (somehow). A dirty laser is no use to no-one and these kits only cost a few quid. If that doesnt work try making sure all the power connectors and the IDE cable is in properly.

Hope this was helpful!
