Laptop DVD-drive question

[forkedt]

My HP laptop recently stopped reading dvds/cds. The drive has power and spins but wont recognize there's media in it in any os (tried winxp and ubuntu). I know the model I have has a special warranty going on for motherboard issues (dv6000 series). However the dvd drive is not covered under it.

My question is, could this even be a motherboard issue? If not I dont want to waste time fighting them to get it covered and repaired.

Thanks!

Maybe MB related, see if HP support can answer that. If they won't cover it just get a new drive. They aren't expensive and they very easy to change.

That's my plan if they wont fix. Thanks!
