    Hi.

    I was burning DVD some days ago with my 5820TG, when suddenly the burning process was cancelled due writting error. From that point my optical drive won't read any disc. It starts reading, but after second or two the sound of "jam" appears and that's it. Windows detect drive normally, as well as BIOS. I'd like to fix this myself rather than waiting for my laptop one month; I don't have any other computer.

    Can you help me?
    Thanks!
