I've an eMachine notebook
I can barely read any kind of disks.
Somtimes it works and most of the time doesn't!
I can't read audio cds
can't read data cds
can't read dvd movies
can't read data dvds
can't burn on blank cds or dvds
neither on RW cds or dvds

sometimes when I try to insert audio cds 4 or 5 times it works after all that time.

I tried cleaning it, didn't work
I tried different blank cds/dvds brands but still doesn't work!

when it reads audio cds and sometime data, I can actually rip the music tracks using iTunes and copy the data from the cd to my hard drive. This does not happen all the time, only somtimes when I try and try for an hour or so.

Can anyone help me?
