| Re: DVD cant be read Hi and Welcome! DVD/CD drives have basically two different optical units, one of them supports CD, the other one is for DVD. Seems as if the DVD unit went bad. Try if lens cleaning will help. Michael P.S.: Do not post the same question several times. Such is called crossposting and is violating the forum rules.
