my dvd writer wont read my blank dvds and my dvd movies, it use to do everything but now i dont know what happened, can anybody please help me thanks
anything it wont read anything for some reason, i mean it was working like a month ago and now when i decide to use it, it dont work wtf
Does the BIOS recognize the drive? Does the front light blink on and off when you start the computer? More information will be help to successfully troubleshoot your problem. -dd
But when you enter the setup program, it is correctly recognized by it? Its the burner really old, have you stored propertly?
i had it for a while like almost 2 years, but i dont use it very often its a lite on dvd writer, you guys think i might have to get a new one?
I think that is your best option, right now burners are really cheap and instead of troubling yourself with a damaged burner, buy a brand new that you are sure it will work. Although make sure your burner is really not working, because right know it may be working but you may have missed a configuration or have a software conflict, so before you go and buy a new one make sure that your computer is not the problem.
a drive not seen by the bios or windows will blink & spin as long as it has power. is it seen bios the bios or windows?
my computer can see it every time i go to [my computer], and also sometimes when i get lucky it works sometimes
try reseating the cables to the drive & to the motherboard. also try a different data cable to drive. if those don't work then replace the drive.
Agreed! I mucked around trying to get my old DVD writer to work for several months. Got it to work once, came back several weeks later and nothing. Went out and bought a new one last weekend and have been happy ever since.
