LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Check on the website / support area (ring them if need be) of whoever made your computer. To clean it, you just use a cd/dvd cleaning disc - this is something you have to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheddars Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I found this post about your burner. Sorry. I had one replaced under warranty - coz they're crap ... The TSST range are infamous, nay notorious, within the laptop market as being badly designed optical units purchased mainly for cost-saving exercises to keep overall production costs down, thereby maximizing profit. My Acer has a TSST L-532A DVD-Dual (+/-RW) drive, and it just died after about 5 months. Acer replaced it under warranty. Unfortunately the replacement died 8 months later - out of warranty! They are generally well-known as being too small to effectively dissipate the heat that they generate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOCOENG Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Generally speaking most if not all laptop/slimline burners are shiite compared to their fullsized brothers....I would recommend a nice external burner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynthia Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Tried to find something later in firmware but I can't. From the various posts it looks like a very unsupported writer from HP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmalves Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Your writer doesn't support the discs you're using. A firmware update could add support for those discs but we couldn't find any. Your options are: get a new burner or Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynthia Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 You used the same media as now? Disc ID: RITEK-S04-66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZetasCry Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) yep i had used the same media, as in memorex dvd+rdl disc and yes i have about 6 successful burns Edited January 3, 2009 by ZetasCry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Just so long as you're aware that the brand name stamped on a disc doesn't mean anything. It's the dye they're using that's important - and in this last case that was 'RITEK-S04-66'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
