Hello, I recently purchased the Liteon external slim DVD-ROM (eTDU108) and whenever I insert a '-' Blank disc, it does not read it.
The disc will spin for a second or two, a green light appears next to the STOP button, and my cursor turns into a spinning disc, but then it stops, and nothing pops up. If I go into the manager for the DVD-ROM, it says no disc is inserted.
well, they work on my other computer.
All cd's but blank ones work. I have tried the DVD that comes with it, games, a movie, and a music cd. They all work (the music CD is off a blank disc that won't run on it, but it works on my grandma's computer)

It works on the other PC's disk drive or it works when the external is plugged into the other pc?
DVDs and CDs/Blurays use a different laser strength to read/burn. If it is just not working on just CDs or just DVDs then the laser is definitely defective.

I run win7.
If you can try other ones or normal cds/dvds (dvd movies or music cds) to see if maybe the laser stopped working.
Do ANY discs at all work? I'm talking game discs, movies, etc.?

I'll post back whenever I get another and let you know if it works or not.
