Super Drive stopped reading DVDs
Hello.
My Super Drive suddenly stopped reading DVDs. When I insert a blank or burned DVD, it just spits them out immediately. I have tried different types of blank DVDs. It also doesn't read DVDs I have burned with this Super Drive.
Tech specs of the Super Drive:

MediatInsert media and refresh to show available burn speeds
The curious thing however ist that it reads CDs. Which made me hope that it's not hardware but a software problem...
I have read on other discussion forums, that other people were having similar problems, however, they just got an error message that a blank DVD cannot be burnt. My DVDs just don't stay inside
) I haven't found anything on this issue yet.
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks,
