    Hi.
    I have just recently bought a Dell Inspiron 1525, which I think works very well.
    That is, until now. I've had the computer for about two weeks, and now when I insert the DVD for the game "Icewind Dale", the DVD drive spins up and there are some "loading" noise from the DVD drive, and it just continues like that without the DVD getting recognized.
    The strange thing is that this does not always happen, if I make another try the disc might as well be recognized immediately. It almost seems as if it varies depending on where I put pressure on the tray when I close it.

    The DVD is very clean, and has got no scratches.

    Is this a common problem with the Inspiron 1525? Is there something with the laser in my Inspiron? Any help is appreciated.
