Hi,

I have this strange problem with NEC 1300A DVD writer. It was working fine until yestersday when I try to write some DVD. It dosn't recognise any DVD, commercial DVD, DVD-r, DVD-RW, data DVD. But when I throw in CDs, it can read perfectly. My firmware was 1.0A. I had try to upgrade to 1.0C. The results is still the same.

My question is, does this dvd writer had a seperate laser for CD and DVD. Or if the len is dirty, is it possible to read CD and not DVD?

Anyone had any idea what this problem might be?

Your helps is greatly appreciated.

NoNo.

Is it possible that your DMA is turned off, here is a link to guide on checking your DMA, http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/checking%20DMA.pdf

Your DVD laser is prob toast. Best way to confirm is to try drive in another computer and see if it works, or the reverse - try another working drive in your computer. When my LG died it had the opposite but similar prob of not reading any CDs but continued to read DVDs.
It does not sound like a firmware or DMA issue.
