DVD wont read files

Comment:

I have a dvd/cd writer combo drive (model SH-S182M). I think it is a samsung but Im too lazy to open the computer and look. I am able to burn DVDs but the drive will not read them. When I browse the DVD it does not show any files on the DVD although the files show up on my other computer. Any ideas where I should start?

At a store for a new burner. The read diode is gone or out of whack. "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, are in my top 10

The dvd drive plays regular DVDs perfectly - it just wont read burned DVDs.
