Try updating the firmware of the drive & also cleaning the lens &see else get a new drive

ax3 · 27-08-2011, 01:29 PM

bt i already have the last firmware released by them . KL0P .

thetechfreak · 27-08-2011, 05:30 PM

Try cleaning with a CD Cleaner and see if it helps.

Reconnecting all wires and cables of the drive also might help

d6bmg · 27-08-2011, 05:56 PM

Sadly it looks like your DVD drive is dead. Buy a new one.
But you can always try cleaning the lens with any lens cleaner flied before buying a new one. (I doubt over the probability of success in this trick)

saswat23 · 27-08-2011, 06:10 PM

Yes, if this trick works then use the DVD-RW as long as you want. But if it has gone bad and cant be repaired then go for a new one. Get the Asus 24x DVD-RW for 1k.

Zangetsu · 27-08-2011, 08:00 PM

@ax3: try burning in slow write speed...

v2kisad · 28-08-2011, 03:49 AM

You might want to give this MS Article a shot
Your CD or DVD drive can't read or write media

ax3 · 28-08-2011, 11:56 AM

thanx 4 ur replies. bt most surprising is that it rites a RW & refuses R. will clean it & rite with lower speed say 4x. or is the media [dvd-r] defective ??? tried with sony .

DVD-R availability is more than +R..
also +R is considered as better quality

ax3 · 30-08-2011, 04:15 PM

@Zangetsu .... thanx

even after riting @ lower speed 4x. sony dvd burnt sucessfully. bt after checking the dvd, it doesnt showup in explorer just pops outta the tray. & later shows no data in dvd. bt dvd is burnt.

thetechfreak · 30-08-2011, 04:17 PM

ax3 · 30-08-2011, 04:18 PM

every company has issues with customers...
like I had with Samsung (its tray opening problem with mine)
...LG not reading some of the DVDs...vice versa

some years back Liteon got the Digit gold buy award...
so choose wisely

ax3 · 01-09-2011, 12:44 PM

@Zangetsu. thanx 4 those wonderful words. "so choose wisely ". reminded me of Lines from Indiana Jones movie [last crusade]. thanx .

ax3 · 02-09-2011, 04:22 PM

bt y does it happens with dvd & no cd ??? i dont think any1 had probem with either riting/reading on cd or their burners.

d6bmg · 02-09-2011, 07:43 PM

^^ It's just you case.

Real reason: unknown to me. Goggled, but it didn't return me any good result.

ax3 · 03-09-2011, 11:19 AM

OMG, so its a uniqe 1 . so how do v determine media is good or bad while buying ???

d6bmg · 03-09-2011, 10:38 PM

^^ For me its brand name & disk quality.

ax3 · 04-09-2011, 12:57 PM

@d6bmg. bt how do u find abt disk quality ??? i cant by just looking @ it & which brand u prefer ???

sujoyp · 04-09-2011, 01:10 PM

who said its not a problem with CD...my LG DVD writer doesnt read or write CDs...it have no problem with DVD...donno whats the problem...my 5 years old lappy combo can read almost all CDs
