i have an acer aspire 1360 with TSST TS-L532A Combo drive. recently, when trying to play dvds, both picture and sound jump like the disc is scratched, even with new dvds. the drive also doesn't write, when i try to burn a disc, nero goes through all the motions but when i put the disc back in, theres nothing on it, no matter what type of media i use. it does, however, have no problem with reading or writing cds.

i'm a bit of a novice when it comes to disc drives so if anything like flashing needs to be done, could you also tell me where i can find some kind of guide on how to do it

i've done my best to search through the forums and try and find a solution, but if i've missed a similar post, please send me in the direction of that post and i apologise profusely.

much appreciated
