The dvd drive on my Toshiba Satellite M55 simply stopped working.
- I open the drive, a yellow light flashes on the drive.
- Put in the dvd and close drive. Yellow light continues to flash.
- It makes a brief whirring sound and then sort of a clunk clunk and a pause. This continues to repeat - whir, clunk, clunk, pause. The yellow light continues to flash.
- Nothing appears on the screen.

I think the flashing is normal when the drive is active
the noises are not normal - but i heard them a lot - sometimes it's burned in dust on the laser that makes it impossible to read any media.
open the drive ans look out for the "glass lens" - take a super soft microfiber cloth (the glass polishing ones are working great) and breathe slighty on the laser, then "polish" it slightly with the cloth
that way i fixed a lot of playstation2 drives ;-)

I think markus has it right. If cleaning doesn't work you may need to replace the drive. Ralph +

Maybe the lens of your DVD drive is dirty, or maybe the DVD you put in is not finalized or not supported or just scratched to much....

Markus, thank you for your help. I will try your suggestion but will probably wait until my nephew can help me. I am not confident that I can do it alone without making things worse.
I couldn't get the add comment to work to your response so am putting it down here.
