Welcome to the forum

To exclude an issue in your machine, can you try to install the drive on a different computer? If also in a different computer the drive is not working, then it can be damaged, and you can ask for a RMA

They mentioned firmware corruption by the Nero Install. It plays DVD movies without any software installs. It needs only the generic XP drivers. If you didn't you may still have a bad drive.

Try it on another machine. Just plug it in and test it with a player. If it still doesn't work, replace it.

For over a month my H54 worked fine playing movie rentals and working as a CD-ROM. As soon as I installed Nero and did the online update, bye bye to DVDs'. It would recognize any other type of disk but it was completely dead to any DVD-Video disk. And I checked it on another clean OS and it did the same thing.

LG seemed to know more than they actually wanted to tell me.

But they fixed it...........
