hello mga PC masters, i have a Samsung SH-W162C DVD writer (internal). the problem is it can't read anymore dvd's kahit na yung mga na-burn DVD ko using this writer hindi nya ma-read. sa my computer ang icon nya ngyon is a CD instead of a DVD. only audio cd's and movies angh kanya nya basahin. mga masters is there something i can do to fix this?

 

how old is the drive?

 

if it is more than two years old already, time to change it

if this is a desktop try to open the unit then detach and attach the memory card. hope this one helps....

 

already did that. still the same. is the memory card busted?

[romeo]

Just some clarifications if you will:

1. When you power up the PC, do you hear any beeps?

2. When you say nothing appears on the screen, do you mean nothing totally appears or the white text appears for a moment then disappears?

3. In case of a no-video scenario (#2), and the absence of beep errors (#1) does the CPU power LED (indicator) still stay lit up or the system completely powers down?

 

answer:

1.no beep

2.nothing totally appears on the screen,

3. the cpu power led stays lit up.

That's good, it helps with the isolation. More questions:

1. The CPU led stays lit up, how about the monitor LED?

--in case the monitor LED is on, try another video card or if your motherboard has an integrated video card (the current ones usually have anyways), remove the expansion video card for the system to default to the built-in card (this is assuming you are running with an expansion video card)

--in case the monitor LED is off, try another monitor

 

let me know the results :headsetsmiley:

nope wala. di kaya battery lang ng motherboard?

[geekyjuan]

pag mahina battery ng motherboard narereset lang yun settings ng board... may screen ka dapat makikita.... pag di nakuha sa kabit tangal, possible na board na problema.... either may nasunog na resistor or blotted yun capacitor

it bought it with my pc package 2006 pa bro...is there any other option? oh well...

[jcsantos]

is it running on batteries or is it plugged in ???

 

if it is plugged in check if there's a light on the adaptor, malalaman mo kung gumagana yung adapter mo kung sinaksak mo makikita mo mag chacharged yung battery mo, pag inde nag charge it means you need to replace it ...
