W3j Help Needed

The burner on my w3v is playing dead (I hope its just playing). About a week ago I started having trouble burning music cd's. At first it would not recognize the blank discs. I was advised to make sure the IMAPI was enabled, and it wasn't. After enabling it I was able to burn a few cd's but only at 4x on Fuji 32x media. The next day it started not detecting the blank cd-r's again. Thinking it was just the quality of the media I purchased some Maxwell Music Pro cd-r's which I have used before with no problem, but it won't recognize these either. The IMAPI is enabled. I use Nero to burn cd's if that matters.

Can anyone help me with this? Did asus ever provide a firmware upgrade for the Mat****a uj-831d?

Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated. I really don't won't to have to send my laptop in for a second time. Plus, I can't do that for another month or so anyway because I have finals coming up.

 

I don't know about you but I have this problem with my DVD burner on my desktop. It burns but some tracks are jumpy..

This is sort of scary, the W3J's better have a different burner than the W3V's....

 

I would unistall the ide drivers. Windows will find and reinstall them when repooted.

 

I'm being picky here but you should change your Thread Title to Read W3v if you can...

If it's still under warranty (which it sounds like it is), definitely get it replaced ASAP. Maybe they'll send out a replacement optical drive rather than making you send in the whole unit(and then you send back the defective unit)...

As long as you have the actual notebook, you should be good with your Finals work.

 

yeah sounds like a hardware problem
