| | Hello. I have bought a new DVD-ROM from LG recently. But after some days it stopped reading any DVD I try. And I tried the same DVDs that it read without any problem just few days ago. And another thing, it reads CDs normally, but this is normal I guess because it doesn't use the same technology to read CDs and DVDs. At first I thought that it might be a software problem because I have installed Nero Image Drive and also Alcohol120% in the time that it stopped to work but than I tried to boot not WinXP with SP2 but a Knoppix Linux from CD and it didn't work either, so I guess it is not a software related problem and therefore it can only be bad hardware. This is waht I think, but it is only my humble opinion. So I would like to know if I am right or if it can be something else. Thanks |

Could be something else. I guess this hardware is on your own PC. So, there are two ways of having a correct diagnosis. 1) try to put this piece of hardware on another PC. If it works on the other PC, this means the hardware is not faulty. 2) make a backup of your Windows system. Then re-install Microsoft windows. if the new install is able of reading DVD's, this means that your software was faulty. 3) If a fresh windows install is unable to use the device, this is a reason for going back to the shop and ask your money back or a free repair...

Thanks Put it in another computer, if that doesn't work, just return it and request a new one. I've had this probleem too with a LiteOn DVD writer, first it stopped reading DVDs and few days later CDs were unreadable too. Brought it back to the store and got a new one instead

It could just be the laser having trouble trying to read the sectors on the disc. It happens to overuse of the DVD-ROM. However, I rarely see it happen to LG burners/readers. xboxrulz

Its also possible that the drive is dirty. I have noticed that Burners tend to be better at reading almost any disk. But I have seen a lot of cheap drives fail to read discs after heavy use. I have a BTC DVD-ROM that can't read any master dvds or cds but it can read any burned disc. Very strange. Drives have never been the same since the out source to Taiwan but I have been noticing a increase in quality lately. I would recommend just buy a new dvd burner; the new lasers read better, faster read/write rates, and they are cheap.

DVD-Rom Doesn\'t Read DVDs
I have the exactly same problem!I had Pioneer DVR 110D Burner which randomly Stopped reading some of my DVDs just Recently!THe thing is that most of those DVD play on other Burners that I tried!When I insert them on mine though they didn't work!Then I bought A SonyNec Optiarc 7200s or something Burner...Brand New but still the same DVDs Continue NOT to play on mine but they play on my friends burners!Beside that I Formated hoping that it may solve the prob but no luck..THerefore I reched the conclusion of Vista Being at fault and Specifically SP1!I seriously tried many different systems (XP,Vista without SP1 even Win98) and they worked but NOT to mine!so can anyone pinpoint the exact problem about Windows software causing that trouble? -reply by Aftha

Help! Usb Flash Drive
windows doesn't recognize it anymore... (10) So my uncle asks me to format his computer and install windows and stuff. So I did like I do with my
PC every six months. No problems at all, everything was working. So I proceeded to install drivers,
which I had already on my flash drive, a 2GB PNY flash drive. But, for some reason, the usb drive
was not recognized by windows XP on my uncle's PC, and I tried again on another port. No luck. I
was thinking maybe all the usb ports were broken or something... but then I went to my desktop and
proceeded to connect my usb drive to burn the drivers on to a CD. And what....

Computer Suddenly Turning Off
Well it seems my computer doesn't like me. Sad huh? (25) My computer has been acting in a weird way for some time, and I don't remember doing anything
that could cause this hardware-wise. I'll try to describe it: After some time powered on, the
system suddenly *poof* shuts down in a harsh way. I press the Power button but it doesn't turn
on. Then, I remove the power cable from it's back, wait for some hour(s) and turn it on ok,
until it turns off again. I'd risk also to say that the 'uptime' I get after a shutdown
is somehow proportional to the time I left the power cable off it. Some would say it&....
