Ok my samsung dvd drive wont read sh!7. I've opened up everything and tried cleaning the lens but still nothing works. I was looking for a walk through of how to re align it if that is an option but it seems like everyone wants to sell a new laser kit. Any tips??

Okay well usually with drives if they stop working or reading and you take them apart and do the lens cleaning and stuff and that still doesnt work and you try a new ide cable and that still doesnt work then that means your drive is shot. They arent made to last forever and eventually they do wear out. Your best bet is try to find a replacement drive on ebay or look for a whole system at your local pawn shop. They usually sell xboxes dirt cheap. You can buy just the laser assembly but they are usually expensive and way overpriced or hard to find and who knows if that will fix the problem. Nope your drive has died my friend. Sad But don't worry all samsung drives go to heaven. Wink

Bro if he buys a replacement laser and that isnt the problem then what? Much cheaper and easier to just buy the whole drive on ebay or from one of us. Very Happy
