Solved DVD no longer working, suggestions?

[marty_g]

My DVD drive worked with my SP2 but not my SP3.

The SP3 can read the content but not install any software. I suspect there's not enough juice.

Could I replace the cable or do I need a new SP3 compatible drive? if the latter, any suggestions/recommendations? Thanks

I'm guessing that worked and you have solved the problem?

Yes, all sorted now...thanks...remembered there was a USB port on the power block so stuck the second USB connection in there and now enough juice to run
