197010 2003-12-03 12:28:00 Hi,

I bought a computer from the PC Company anno January 2003. With my computer came a DVD player, and I would very much like to know what brand it is, because I can't seem to find that out.
The PC Company doesn't exist anymore, so I assume their support contact details are of no longer use, is there another way I can find out the brand of the DVD player?

thanks for any help

197011 2003-12-03 13:00:00 Do you mean a dvd player as in one in the computer cd drive? or a stand alone dvd player for your television? csinclair83 (200)
197012 2003-12-03 21:06:00 If you have a look in device manager Then click the arrow beside dvd/cd drives & it should tell you. Otherwise you may have to take the lid off & have a look at the sticker on the drive itself.

I also have a simlar problem.
I recently brought a used DVD ROM off a mate - he didn't no what make/model it was.

I need to no, as i want to flash it's firmware to make it region free (no problems with this aye?) but you need the exact model.

It has Acer 16x on the front - and i checked in Aida32 - but it just has "DVD ROM SCSI" (something like that!)

ANd in device manager - it has the same - as I just used XP's drivers to install it

197015 2003-12-03 23:13:00 Try this (hijacker.rpc1.org) program. Should help a bit more for DVD drive info. :) CYaBro (73)

But thanks.

197017 2003-12-03 23:50:00 Hi,

I downloaded that program, thanks for the advice.
However, in the drop down box it just says F: DVD-ROM, next to Firmware version it has 1.18, and next to Vendor Specific it says 2002/11/16PIONEER.
This still hasn't told me what brand and series model it is right? or does it confirm it's of the Pioneer models?

thanks

197018 2003-12-03 23:58:00 With your F: DVD-ROM drive selected click on View - Summary and it should tell you some more info in there. CYaBro (73)
197019 2003-12-04 00:31:00 Maybe you may need to manually have a look on the drive itself for the exact model number.

Get out ya favourte screwdriver and leap in.
