Hi HecEnSan,

I would suggest you to run the ‘Fixit’ tool from the link below to check if it fixes the issue with DVD read/write problem.

I have been having the same problem only mine stopped working a while ago and I have an 5030.

I tried the fix it link and it assumed my disc was unreadable. The second link said the document wasn't available anymore.

ETA:  I did a diagnostics test and found that I need to replace my drive completely so help for me is no longer needed.
