| 525695 | 2007-02-19 06:42:00 | Hullo All. This is not related to my earlier, successful DVD repair.. This one is on Maryann's computer. IT is a Lite-on DVDRW SOHW-1673S. It does not work. Where do I start Looking please. PJ |

| 525696 | 2007-02-19 07:10:00 | I have been playing around with this. I put a music CD in & it does not Autoplay. Nor is there an Icon on the desktop to click & get any options. If I go to My Computer & select Drive E (the DVD one). Click on this & I can get "Play" or Play With Powerdrive 5. How can I get this to work from the Desktop without going thro all this rigmarole.

| 525697 | 2007-02-19 07:46:00 | Looks like Its a common prob (search.yahoo.com) with this burner. I would replace it. |

| 525698 | 2007-02-19 07:56:00 | Have just read that link. Sounds horrible. Maybe we should get rid of it then & try another brand. PJ |

Anyhow, 270 results is a non-event.Im sure that search on any brand dvd will turn up sometghing similar. and Lite-on are a top of the line brand. Thats not to say they can't break, Anything can. PJ, when you insert a disc does the read light come on?, flash?, Can you hear the drive "spin up? |

| 525700 | 2007-02-19 08:33:00 | The green light comes on solid. After awhile it blinks. Cannot hear the disc running, (Pretty deaf, like). I can now get the "Nero Like" window on screen that asks what Windows is to do. If I select "Play Vidio using Powerdrive 5, nothing happens.. If I select Play with Media Player it works. So I am getting there. PJ |

| 525701 | 2007-02-19 08:34:00 | Excellent, The drive works.... | Metla (12) | ||
| 525702 | 2007-02-19 08:35:00 | Also. Maryann's region is set to "1". It will not let me change it to NZ, "4". Next job is to get it to Record & Backup. PJ |

| 525703 | 2007-02-19 10:05:00 | You can only change the region if there is a DVD in the drive that is for the region you want to set the drive to. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 525704 | 2007-02-19 10:50:00 | Have you run out of region changes? You can only have 5 changes before it stays fixed on the last one, I think, on the Lite-on drives you can only fix this by flashing the drive with modified firmware e.g. codeguys.rpc1.org I put a music CD in & it does not Autoplay Sounds like you might have an Autoplay glitch as well, sorry cant help on that one, my machine's doing the same thing, does anyone know a good fix for this ( apart from reinstalling windows :lol: )? |
