Acer Aspire 8930G: Blu Ray Problem

I have a Acer Aspire 8930G, bought brand new 2 years ago.



It's always had a problem playing blu rays. I got over the problem by not using the acer arcade deluxe player it comes with and instead using PowerDVD9.



Now I have a new problem in that the drive doesn't read blu ray discs, it doesn't even spin them up. The computer doesn't recognize any disc what so ever.



It plays DVDs fine but not Blu Rays.



Any ideas?



Thanks.

I had the same problem with Blu-Rays, now mine won't even play DVD's or CD's. Once I get my other PC set up do the essentials I'm going to do a system restore back to factory settings to rule out a software error but if that doesn't cure it I'll be returning it for repair under my extended guarantee. What make is your Blu-Ray drive? Mine's a Panasonic. Does anyone know if these 8930's come with different manufacturer's of the Blu-Ray drive? I'll update this thread with my results once I do a system restore to defaults unless someone else rules out software errors first.
