i6000 can't play CD's can play DVD's

Inspiron 6000 will not play cd's but will play DVD's. Have run diagnostics but everything says working properly. TSST corp CDRW/DVD TSL462c. Worked fine for about 6 months then just stopped working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!!

Will the diag read CDs? Or does the diag only read DVDs?

It is very possible your drive has failed. CD/DVD drives have to refocus the laser in order to read one media or the other so it's not entirely uncommon for your drive to fail to read one type and not have issue with another.

HOWEVER, if diags can read a disk just fine, you have other software issues.

Thanks! I have tried all CD's. It will not read any CD's but does play DVD's. Should replace the drive? Thanks!!!!!!!!!

as MrEvil said, everything you tested/have done pointed to the need of a new drive
