Hi, I have the same problem once. Did you tried to set up your region on your cd-rom?
If you play only burnt dvds, cd-rom didnt recognize it, if you try to play original dvd, maybe the popup will appear where to set region. Try this solution. I think this would work if the popup wont appear, try to look somewhere in your player to set up the region.

System Specs

I once got this problem when i renamed my drives once.I lost the auto run feature and the dvd drive had problems reading cirtain files from a disk.I cant remember if renamed them again and it sorted it out. Or weather i uninstalled them in device manager so it found the devices again and installed them.

Also you can download the latest firmwares for your drives but make sure its from the main dealer site dont use untrusted websites and make sure its the right firmware for your drive or it can make it inoperatable.
