Thanks for your reply but I want to say that it reads from time to time and sometimes when I open the door it gives that sound when you insert your mouse or keyboard ( on win 10 ) and then it is followed by a message stating it a usb device which is not recognizable . It happened to me that it completely stopped to function but when moved to another place with keyboards and mouse disconnected , it worked well !! and now when I placed the laptop which contains the cd back on my desk , it stopped functioning again !! That is very weird !! If you or any respectful buddy have a solution for it , then I would really be appreciated .if it doesn't read any cd, especially purchased products then the drive is defective. you can just get a cheap usb external
