is my laptop's DVD-ROM busted?

[fourtheboys96]

magkano ba ang DVD writer for laptops?

kaya ba ng pentium 3 ang DVD writers?

ayaw pa din magbasa nung DVD-ROM nung laptop ko eh. ndi ko tuloy ma burn yung movies na download ko hehehe

malamang sira na lens nyan, gaano na ba katagal yan?

i got it from my brother more than a year ago but the laptop itself i think is about 4 to 5 years old na.

i am suspecting the lens might the culprit also.

if i reinstall the OS and other programs, will there be a chance ng gumana siya? this is assuming na ndi lens yung problem.

tnx!

i had the same problem before. tried cleaning, wa epek. i had it replaced na lang with dvd-rw for 2.5t. if your drive is old then it need replacement.

i definitely have to change the DVD-ROM.

i opened the drive itself and found out that the brown-colored ribbon connected to the lens is already torn maybe due to normal wear and tear.

this happened to my portable CD player before.

what brand do you recommend? can a pentium 3 support a DVD writer?

Ayaw mag read ng dvd-rom ko pag maglagay ako ng cd. Kapag naglagay ba ako ng external DVD-rom ay pwede na gamitin kahit sira yung dvd-rom sa loob ng laptop?
