I have a TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H ATA DVD drive on my Laptop.

I wanted to watch a DVD today, so I inserted the disk.

It did the usual thing and spun the disk up to a very low speed, but instead of searching for a video file, the lens could be heard moving backwards and forwards like it does when I start the laptop up. It did this twice then the disk spun up to a higher speed, then spun down to a stop after a few seconds. When I clicked on the DVD drive in My Computer, a BOX appeared saying "Please insert a disk into E:\" then the disk ejected.

It might be a glitch that will sort itself out when I restart, but I thought I would post here just to make sure.

I have TRIED more than one disk.

I have attached a HJT log if it helps.

[attachment deleted by admin]Have you BURNED a lot of FILES on this drive?How old is the drive ? ?

They don't make 'em like they used to...That kind of sound is telling me, the laser is going out.
You can try lens cleaner, but they never WORKED for me...REPLACE the driveWorks fine now after restart.
