    I have a Acer 5100-3357 with a Mat****a(Panasonic) CD/DVD that is flacky. It wil play some discs fine sometimes but will not play others, even ones I have burned with this machine, eg. Acer restore disc's and divers I burned earlier. It used to work fine. I have restored the hard drive from the Acer recoverey, but it still is intermittent.
    Has anyone else had this problem or know of a fix.
