I have learned that you cannot always go by what that device status message
says. sometimes it will tell you that something needs to be checked, but
most times it will say that the device is working properly when you know
well that it is not. Are these good quality disks that you are using in the
drive? Some drives simply will not work with certain brands of disks,
especially the less expensive ones. I use Verbatim almost exclusively, and
never have any problems. You can check on Amazon, and search for the
Verbatim AZO discks, these cost less, and do a great job. Remembering back,
I believe I paid around $ for a 50 disk cake box.

What I don't get here is, it states the device is working properly, yet I
can't get it to work when inserting a disk. I even tried different ones. I
know it worked early last year because I installed printer software, haven't
popped anything into the drive since then though.

Hello Mike,
Here's what it states..
I found this info from your first set of instructions. So if it's driver is
the best already, then I guess it's the device it's self that is not
working?
Update Driver So ftware - Slimtype BD E DS4E1S
The best driver software for your device is already installed
Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date.
CD-ROM Drive

Hi trish,
Have you tried updating the driver for the drive? focus on the drive in
computer, open the context menu and open properties, control over to the
driver tab, and press enter on update driver. Now press enter on search
automatically for the driver for this device. if this does not work, go to
device manager, and find the CD drive to see the make and model of it, then
browse to the manufacturer's web site to find the latest driver, download
and install it. Ottherwise, it could be a bad connection, or the drive may
need to be replaced.
hth,
Mike

I have been trying to figure out why this is not working. I have checked
some areas which have told me, that this device is working properly, but
when I insert the disk and close the tray, it sounds like it's starting to
go, but then nothing.
I put another disk in same thing, can anyone more knowledgeable in this area
please help?
