Hi,
I have got this problem i.e. My CD-ROM or DVD-ROM cannot read or play any
type of disc or dvd, and this kind of problem has just started recently.
When i try to put and play any kind of cd or dvd it doesn't show anything,
it says NO DISC.
I have checked on device manager i.e. on cd/dvd drives it says ''This device
is working properly'' I have tried to uninstall and to install but still the
same problem, I have checked for the updates there is no any updates, I have
tried to troubleshoot it, still the same problem.

The following are its details:
Device type: DVD/CD-ROM drives
Manufacture: (Standard CD-ROM drives)
Location: Location 1 (1)
Device status: This device is working properly.
Driver provider: Microsoft
Device name: ATAPI COMBO 48XMAX
Driver version: 5.1.2535.0
Digital signer: Microsoft Windows Publisher

I will be very greatfull for any kind of help from anyone.

Many thanks.
MK

Swap out the drive for a known-working one. If the new drive works,
replace the original. Drives don't last forever. CD/DVD-ROM drives are
under $25usd.

Hi Malke,
Sorry to ask you, After buying new drives and replace it with new one, what
can i do with old drives which are installed on my computer? cause i know on
how to replace that thing used to put CD or DVD (CD/DVD ROM). Is there a need
to buy the similar one with the old one?
Please could just tell me on what to do with step by step.

I'm asking this because i'm not very good on this sector.

Hope to get help from you all.

Many thanx

I'm sorry but I don't quite understand your question. You were
originally saying that your CD/DVD-ROM drive wasn't working. I
suggested swapping it out with a known-working one. If the new drive
works fine, throw the old one away. I don't know what you mean by "old
drives" - plural - in this latest post.

If you are uncomfortable opening the case and working with hardware,
have a local shop do it for you. It will not be very expensive.
