is my laptop's DVD-ROM busted?

[pakupakupaku]

Im facing same problems as well... Ayaw mag write ang laptop ko :sad:

Everytime I want to burn a disc, sabi sa Nero completed pero once I put it again, walang laman. :sad:

Try burning using windows media player- if it doesnt burn try to burn while your notebook is standing on its side(changing the center of gravity), although support the LCD frame while doing it, because if it burns successfully then its a mechanical defect maybe the lens is worned out or the spring below the lens.

Try disabling nero on startup - or just disable everything on startup - Start->run->msconfig
uncheck Load Startup items - restart, then try again(this will disable your firewall and antivirus if you have one just reinstall it if you want it back on startup).

Or go to the startup tab then uncheck anything on the list that says nero.

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?

Yes. If your built-in DVD drive is broken, you can use an external USB DVD drive to access your CDs and DVDs. In our office, I have a USB DVD drive in case anyone needs to access a CD or DVD. I have long stopped equipping office PCs with CDroms and fdd. Waste of money.
