[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1587448, member: 46727"] To add to what Nick replied: The laser power levels for reading and writing a disk are different for a CD than they are for a DVD. Which means it may be able to read a CD but not a DVD. Sometimes that can be attributed to a dirty lens (try cleaning with compressed air) and other times it can mean the drive has to be replaced. Try cleaning it first. And by the way, there is no "switch" that somehow got flipped. [/QUOTE]
