I have installed a known good drive in place of the suspect one. That it malfunctions identically suggests something about the T43 h/w or s/w

If new, talk to Lenovo about a replacement. Plenty of working ones on eBay. - - - - - The more you observe politics, the more you have to admit that each party is worse than the other. ... .... ..... ..... ....... .........

Device is powered (LED illuminated) and an inserted disk tries to spin. I have replaced the h/w with a known good DVD drive which behaves identically. What are my next steps please?
