this is what comes up when i put a music cd in. but when i put a dvd in it comes up saying no media. and it is playing music cds now.
These combo drives have two lasers, one for dvd and one for cd... if the dvd laser died you would get a no media message... you could prove it by putting the drive in another machine.
i have just looked at the drive and i can only see one lazer. which is a bit weard
You may see only one lens....
cant try the drive in another machine . so njust gone and got a second hand one with three months warrenty so if that dosent work i no its the computer and i can send it back.
good plan!
:grin: changed the drive and works perfect thanks for your help. your a good person thanks again.
Glad to help :)
