| Ah, right so here we go. I have a Dell Dimension E520 w/ upgrades . It comes stock with a TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-H553A A couple months ago, about, two, or a little less, it just stopped working. Out of nowhere. I was on a pack of dvd's I had boiught a couple weeks prior. I used them before. Basically, my problem is, when I put in a BLANK dvd, it's not dected. if I double click on my drive, it tells me to "Please insert a disc into slot E:". Same with cd's. I've reformatted two (ish) times since then, in hope of it being software problems, but nothing. I installes, nero, and a CyberLink program, and they didn't detect anything. If I put something in there, like a dvd with stuff on it, it comes up fine, or even a movie dvd, it all plays right. but it's pissing me off because I have a lot of stuff to back up, and gotta jump drive it to my laptop. Basically in Short: My burner just stopped working for BLANK dvds. it don't detect them It works for cds/dvds with stuff on it. movie dvd's included. Can't burn anything ! Any help is appreciated ! Thanks in advance - - Alex. .lg.Aro |

| Is a proper burning app NOW installed? Clean the drive maybe.

| Either use a cleaning disc or open up the drive and use a qtip with isopropanol .
