I have a brand new LG GH22NS40 DVD-ROM, but it won't read or write anything. I tried to burn with 3 different softwares (Nero, ImgBurn, Ashampoo) and still nothing. I have the latest firmaware ( the second for this dvd-rom ) and there's no difference. I use Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bits.
How i made it ?
I just reinstalled the driver and it worked just fine.

"This device is working properly."
And there is no update available.
I would tend to think that Minotar's last statement applies. Since it is new, I would contact the seller about a replacement.
Have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it via Device Manager?
What version firmware did you update with?Ver.NL02?
LG Product Support for GH22NS40
You could try manually plugging it out and back in either?
I have ver NL02. I haven't tried a different cable.
Edit: I reinstalled. Wait me to see if I can burn something.
I see by your specs you have only a gig of memoery?
OS Windows 7 Ultimate
CPU Amd Athlon 3200+
Motherboard Extreme KV2 Lite
Memory 1GB DDR
Graphics Card Ati Radeon 9600
Sound Card Realtek
It seems to me you may have a memory issue.
Is the Optical drive installed internally or is it connected via USB?
Instruction on removing upper and lower filters helped me one time. Not sure if your problem but may work for you. Good luck to you with this!
