Re: DVDs are not playing or recognized

If it helps I agree with John 100%
I too have had drives that seemed to be working sporadically so since it worked "sometimes" I didn't think it was the drive but it was.

I know it may not solve the problem. Nothing else has worked so far... and I
believe I have tried almost all things that are out there short of a new
drive so if it does not work then that will be eliminated from the
possibilities catagory. I will buy one where I can get a 30 day return and
may only loose shipping costs. At this point that would be such a small price
to pay because I would not want to calculate my hours spent on this problem
by my typical hourly rate... it would not be pretty. :-)

I appreciate your time.

I'll be back!

===========================
It may not be the fix but I think it's
certainly worth a try.

Good luck...
