Lite-on DVD-ROM not reading

is the problem just for dvds or for all cds ?

Both

Dude welcome to the world of cheap lens in DVD writers....This is the most common issue I have observed..I can surely bet the lens is damaged..If it is under warranty then u go fast & collect a new one...If it isn't then it is time you threw the DVD writer into dustbin & get a new one....Nowadays I have lost all confidence in DVD writers...They suck like hell

its a sad thing that u got a defective piece...normally liteon drives are really good... i remember using my cd - writer for 2 yrs and it worked liked a gem, even though i wrote more than 500 cds...

@nucleuscore, you are not alone. My liteon DVD writer stopped reading CD's 10 days after buying it.
