My laptop's optical drive won't show any sign of life but it is shown in device manager as working successfully. Even I reinstalled a fresh windows 8.1, but the problem persists.
Possible causes:
1. I used to have windows 10 on my laptop, and with that windows, I had to always turn my laptop on twice. a few seconds after my first push of "power on" button, it used to go off and my second attempt always worked. In my opinion, it was a power failure problem, which is solved now by returning to win 8.1.
2. Recently I bought a pack of Sony DVD-R with which my optical drive had difficulties. For writing a few DVDs I struggled a lot and installed quite a good number of burning software.
Will you please provide me with some probable solutions?
