Hello, can anyone help with what to do if certain DVDs don't play on my
Dell Inspiron 640m laptop. VCDs and some DVDs ok. Thanks! Sarah


First check that you have the latest drivers, and reinstall if necessary.
However... chances are the drive is bad. If you are able to
disassemble it you can try cleaning the lens, but your best bet is to
replace the drive.
You can buy any brand drive - it doesn't have to be dell brand.
