Optical Drive Problem?

[Marc Soliven]

Hi guyz, so a couple of days ago, i finished my 2nd gaming rig which has an LG 14x blu ray drive.... and didn't know that it has some major problems... cause today after i got my paycheck.. i decided to buy some blu ray discs and pc video games... however after i putted the video disc on my OD.. nothing happens... if i click the BD-RE Driver it would just say 'please insert a disc' even though theres a disc inside... so i changed the video game disc to a blu ray since i though that maybe the video game was probably just damaged... however it did the same thing on my blu ray discs.... i didn't expect this type of problem since when i installed the windows 7 on this desktop. it was the same OD that i used... can anybody help me? do i need to activate my OD or something?

You shouldn't need to activate anything. If the drive worked before and now it doesn't, most likely the drive failed. I don't think there's any real way to fix those aside from just replacing them.

Well, if it worked before and doesn't work now.... Most likely all that's telling you is that the computer detects the drive and is getting a signal back. It could be the lens is damaged and that may not show up on an error check.

What do you mean only for burning discs? I don't know of any that can burn but not read. In order to burn a disk, it has to be able to read the disk.
