TEAC DW-224E-B [CD-ROM drive] doesn't work

Hello Everyone,

I’m a noob here but not when it comes to working on my pc, ppc or laptop. I do have a situation I’ve been all over the net looking for and would appreciate if I could get some assistance from the knowledgeable people here.

It shows in Device Manager, My Computer. It opens and closes correctly.

It shows Fail when I run the Toshiba Diagnostics.

Basically it won’t read any dvd/cd/cdr. Recent problem that occurred without any added drivers. I have uninstalled, reinstalled. There are no updated drivers available (Windows has the best one).

Any suggestions?

OS: XP SP2
