My TSStcorp DVD+-RW Ts-L633J ATA Device DVD/CD-Rom Drive Not Reading Dvd Discs
My Dell Laptop Inspiron has a DVD/CD rom drive. It loads all the CD that I want to and automatically opens them . When I put in a DVD disc it will not play and neither recognize it. I open My Computer, then look at the E drive and it doesn't even recognize that there is a DVD inside (means when i double clik it ejects the dvd disc and a message is shown that "Please insert a disc'' .Some sound comes from the drive like it is reading but nothing shows it is not detecting my dvd.I tried many options but to no help. I reinstalled the drivers also. But always the same message shows up.

Hi reemarani,
This indicates that the laser for the DVD discs have failed.
Try the following methods which can isolate the issue:
Method 1: Clean the disc
Note Do not use a paper cloth, and do not use a circular motion to clean the disc. These can scratch the disc.
Method 2: Check the disc for damage
Method 3: Try a different disc drive
Method 4: Make sure that the disc is compatible with the drive
Also, click on the link below to run Microsoft fixit:

Hello,
I have a Dell XPS, three years old with a TSSTcorpDVD+-RW TS-L633J drive, which recently stopped recognising DVDs. The Windows device manager tells me that somehow the driver is corrupted. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, but the reinstallation keeps failing and the driver remains corrupted. Manual downloads from the Dell homepage did not work for unknown reasons. The problem is that whatever corrupted my DVD drive also prevents me from using external DVD drives.
Do you have any ideas, what I can do. The virus scan also comes up negative, so I am not sure what may have caused the driver corruption in the first place. Please, help!
Thanks

I have a TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L633C on my Dell Laptop. About 8 months after i got my laptop the disk drive all of a sudden cant read or write. I barely used this laptop and probably burned about 20 disks and it starts ejecting a disk when double clicking on the drive.
I got it work after messing with it for hours and hours then a couple weeks ago i put a disk in and it was reading the disk then it *** out.. hasn't worked since.
This is the 4th Samsung optical drive that i've had do this same exact problem. I want to believe that Samsung has a decent reputation doesn't build *** optical drives. My personal opinion is that a Microsoft update is the culprit.
I would suggest to anyone if they have this problem to get your Windows disk and reboot. Set your BIOS to boot off the disk drive.. if it starts to load windows then you know your drive is good... if it doesn't well buy a new one..
I'm gonna go reboot and see if this works.. if anyone is interested in my results reply to this post.

Hi, I have an inspiron 7720 and recently upgraded to Win 10. Now my DVD+- GT80N no longer works. It is in the control panel and on attempt to update driver it lists current driver as correct, yet every disk I insert is listed as blank and when I try to burn it ejects the disk and claims 'Bad Media'. There is no Mr. Fix it for Win 10, I can't roll back the driver, uninstall/reinstall makes no difference. What can I try next?

Hi Rowdy53,
I would try the Windows 8 procedure.
I have no idea if it will work but someone has to be the first to try it. Good luck!
