dvd burner acting wierd,randomly reads dvds by TheMusicPirate on 12-01-2005 at 06:47 PM
can somebody help me?
my dvd burner randomly reads my dvd's and when it actually reads them it takes for ever to load.
do you think on HP recovery discs will be able to fix the problem?
do you think it could just be something wrong with the acutal dvd burner hardware? would a system format fix it?
also when i press the eject button the tray comes out and the disc is spinning like crazy, then it stops
thanks.

well, im not sure, but maybe the laser is starting to go. even though you have had it fora short period of time, it might be because you use a lot, but then again, i could be totally wrong

i also noticed that it reads store bought movie dvds and music cd's, but it also takes a long time to read blank media.
i might just buy i new one later, it's just that this one has the lightscribe built in.
