I have a 4 year old Dell Inspiron 6000 that has recently been giving me a number of problems. For the past two days the laptop has been flickering between the display and a black screen, with it becoming somewhat more frequent as time went on.
I had read that it may be a loose wire and I had planned on opening it up and attempting to fix it myself (the warranty is over and I'd rather attempt to fix it myself first before paying to have it fixed at extremely high prices).
However, the lower right corner of the screen has recently started to become incredibly hot and noticeable smoke and burning has begun to occur. I immediately shut off and unplugged the computer and have not used it since .....
I'm aware coastering can happen with any DVD/CD burners, but the TSST corp drive in my 1737 seems to have serious problems with DVD-R's.
Burning via Nero seems to result in errors at the verification stage more often than getting a successful burn.
When the burn IS successful, the disc takes an age to access the data, much longer than it should,
and when playing back DIVX movies on my stand-alone DVD player there are loads of points where the film skips a few seconds then continues (not a player issue, its fine with stuff I burn on my desktop).
Can it be done?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with my Combo device (TSSTcorp) on my Dell Inspiron. When I burn a DVD data disk with Nero it is burned at 1X to 1.2X. It doesn't matter which speed I have set (4X or 8X). So it takes approximately 50 minutes to burn a full DVD and after that the verification takes same time at this speed again.
When I burn a CD the real speed is again slower than the speed I have chosen. And at the end of the burning process I get a message saying that "buffer underrun error has been avoided hundreds of times" or something like this.
I have been trying to burn some dvd's and I am having so/so luck. I get a burn on the dvd itself and it will play on my laptop, but for some reason when I put it in a normal DVD Player it does not read. In fact the player will say error on disk.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI got my new mac a week or so ago, and i decided to burn some dvd`s the dvd-r disks burned fine i tried a couple of different brands and did a verify.
My problem is with the dvd-rw disks, i have a couple of verbatim 4x and a couple of datawrite 4x used dvd`s not new, but when ever i try to write to these i get verrify errors or writing just stops 3/4 way though the dvd and i am forced to abort the write, i have done this 3-4 times on all dvd`s
I have even tried to do a full format/erase of the dvd-rw but they get to 3/4 and i get an error or the writing just stops.
I now have manged to get all 4 dvd-rw to work perfectly , but i had to burn a movie to them on my panasonic dvd recorder under my tv in my sitting room.
Then when i do a quick erase on the mac and do a dvd copy it works 100% with verification.
I now have all my dvd-rw disk working 100% as far as i can tell.
I am trying to burn a few CDs for my girlfriend and I am coming across a few problems.
I have tried burning with Zune software, WMP and a free burner called CDBurnerXP.
Sometimes the CDs will burn fine all the way through, and other times after half way it stops and I get error messages. This has happened with all the programs I have listed.
The error is something along the lines of saying to check if the drive is connected properly or possible driver issues. Can someone direct me to the latest driver for the CD drive?
Anyone else encounter any similar problems when trying to burn CDs?
Forgot to mention this is also happening on my girlfriends laptop, which is also a dv5t...
I have several .avi movies that I want to burn onto DVD so I cant watch them through my XBOX elite.
What would be the best way to do this without compromising quality? I've tried iDVD but the quality is significantly lowered.
No matter what songs I burn onto a CD on my macbook pro, the first two tracks are always defective (it won't play on iTunes). On every single bloody CD. It doesn't matter if I change the songs. And once I take it out and put it back in, the computer doesn't even recognize the thing and it just spits it back out. I tried it on my sister's macbook and it still won't play. It won't play on my car stereo. I'm frankly very disappointed.
My laptop's a macbook pro, core 2 duo late 2006-early 2007 version.
I know iTunes is full of bugs and I'm really starting to get annoyed but this maybe the straw that puts me over the edge to finding an alternative. I've tried 2 different brands of CD's and even one that was a friggin "Sony CD-R". Still when iTunes burns my disks it'll finish like normal and mount the finished product in the sidebar, and upon first inspection it looks fine but when I play through the CD all the ends of my songs are cut off and some skip and then some are just plain not there (towards the end of the disk).
I've looked at the individual song properties and none of them specify a start or end time and I'm at a loss as to what to do. I know CD's aren't expensive but when I only burn like 1-2 a month, and I buy a five pack and it messes them all up that's money I'm just "burning" (pun intended). Could it be a problem with the buffer under-run? In that case it's HW and I'd need to RMA it to Sony... or is there some special tool I can use to see if I can calibrate the drive or something? the drive in QTS is an Optiarc BD-ROM BC-5500S4 with the released firmware update.
I am about to buy a HP G60t for my sister. I would like to know if this laptop comes with a CD/DVD burning program. For example, my old HP Compaq came with Roxio RecordNow!.
While configuring my HP G60t, I get the impression that I have to buy the Cyberlink DVD Suite Premium 6. Obviously, I would like to avoid buying this software if the laptop will already have a similiarly-functioning software installed.
I have searched on HP's website as well as on the internet for answers but all to no avail.
And I would also like to know the same for the HP Pavilion dv6t and dv4t. I plan to buy this for myself.
I got a film file, and I've made a menu for it on iDVD.
It's a .dvdproj file, and the file is small enough to fit on my 4.7GB DvD-R disc.
I've got it open in iDVD, and I've clicked the little Nuclear icon next to the Preview or PLAY icon. But it keeps saying "There was an Error in Encoding" or something alike when it gets to the end of the Menu burning process.
My laptop is HP Envy m6 Notebook PC(model number: D1E93UAR#ABA). Is this laptop has any software to burn files to disk?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just recently purchased a new sony vaio fw41e/h. And i've been using the blueray driver a lot for burning dvd's since it's capable of doing that. But since yesterday my drive just stopped burning dvd's and got no idea what might have caused it. I didn't find any errors or something when i burned my last dvd, which worked. I used the os it came with which is vista 32 bit. I don't think it's a hardware error because it can still read the dvd's but i just can't burn them. I also tried several different applications for burning, like clonecd, imgburn and nero but neither worked. For instance, when i use clonecd it just starts normally but after 30 seconds the bar raises up to 100% and just finishes and it said it couldn't burn it. for the people who wanna know what kind of drive it is, it is a mata bd-cmb uj130as.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI tried to burn recovery discs for my new rig with Sony brand DVD+Rs, and after gathering info, writing, and finally checking, it tells me it's unsuccessful (this is after burning disc 1 of 2). I've tried a few times with the same result. Anyone know what the deal is here? Do I need a special high quality disc or could it be something else?
View 9 Replies View RelatedLike many others who use this series, I was faced with a dead HP laptop 3 weeks ago, giving nothing but a blank screen and 3 beeps (1 long, 2 short).
It turned out that almost all models under this series had this same problem due to the NVidia graphic card that overheated the mainboard So I sent mine in for repair at the HP service center and just got it back a few days ago.
I was just wondering if there is any way at all that I can prevent the new mainboard from overheating like this again? I would like to my notebook to live as long as possible from now on.
I checked the temperature just now and it was at 75C. It said the threshold was at 105C...
This ad has been hitting the web today... and I'm sure its gonna poke the fires.... with lines like "I'm not cool enough for a Mac".
However I will have to hand it to MS, this is a much improved advertising campaign compared to the seinfeld/gates thingo last year. And I reckon it will work, esp with the current state of the economy.
The reality is Apple doesn't play in the budget computer market... (just like sony, alienware, voodoo etc), & I don't think there is anyway they can compete in that market successfully. So its always gonna cost more for a Mac.
As it is much more difficult to place a $ value on the less tangible things like personal preference, weight, size & design, the debate will for ever rage over the "value" or "apple tax".
At the end of the day, the most important thing is that people get the computer they want and that it does what they need... doesn't matter if its a pc or mac.
But I doubt this will stop those on either side of the fence from hurling abuse... and to those people let it begin!
I have wiped off the acer windows xp and have clean installed windows vista home basic, i can not burn any cd/dvds i get the following error when using windows to burn a disc or media player:
There was a problem burning the discThere was an error burning the disc. The disc might no longer be usable.I have been to microsoft help and acersupport.com.au and they both have problems relating to the issue but no fixes for example over at [url] has the problem but i dont believe i ever had acer eLock so that can't be the problem and over at microsoft it says about having "$" in the file name and that is not the problem, is anyone able to shed some light on the situation,
I have made a new install of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I then install "Dell System Software" which is found under "System Utilities" on their driver page. I reboot the system, and then windows gets an error and won't start. I have the newest BIOS installed.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI closed Down the lid to head to my room and then came back about five minutes later, opened it up, and pressed the power button. A flash of a blue screen appears but I can't read what it says on it and then once it tries to load it reverts to a black screen that says "Windows has failed to start up . A recent hardware or software change might be the cause." Then I can either launch Startup Repair or Start Windows Normally.
I have tried both options, ran a hardware diagnostic test twice, tried to restore to a previous date, and tried to boot up in safe mode but each option fails and it just goes back to this black screen with the two options.
The only option I haven't tried is reverting to factory settings but that is because I would like to save my files first.

I have a dell 5010 and it went black screen as I was using it. I powered it down by holding the power button and then tried to rebot. The laptop power led goes on, the hard drive led flickers once and the fan goes on but slow. The screen stays black and the laptop does not booth. It then sometimes bleeps times over and over. Is it dead? How can I fix this or at least recover the data in the hard drive?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an Inspiron 15R 5521 that is causing me no end of headache. When I try to boot it, it starts to boot (audibly you can hear the internal systems starting to go) but the screen stays black and after about 5 seconds, it starts beeping. It beeps continuously approximately once every 2-2.5 seconds, and I have counted up to about 30 beeps (it didn't stop beeping, it was just doing my head in).
It started about six months ago, doing it once when I tried to boot it, but pulling the battery fixed it. However, it got progressively worse until one night it simply wouldn't boot at all. A short-term fix was to mash F4 or F9 once the power button was pressed, but now even that doesn't work. I think it might be something in the boot sequence that causes it to fail...
My xps fails to power on, here's a quick history of the laptop, couple of months ago i decided to try fix my dc jack issue, it would only charge holding cable a certain way, replaced the jack but my soldering wasnt good enough so bought a replacement MB and installed.
this lasted around 2 weeks, laptop shut down after battery had ran down even though connected to ac, looked at transformer on lead and noticed power light was not on, bought replacement charger and connected immediatley light on lead started flashing indicating a short on the mb (i think), tried 2 different chargers same result
bought another mb that was fully tested before shipping, installed, when connecting ac the battery flashes orange 3 times then green and continues this cycle, from what i read think this is only to say the battery is bad.
however the laptop doesnt power up tried it with without battery and did the stat drain technique of holding power button for 60 secs etc.
Basically when switching on the power on light comes on for maybe 3-5 secs and goes off again without any fans etc even begining to boot, if i hold the fn key and power it lights the 3 leds on the left, 9, numlock and i forget the symbol on the other led...
could it be the cpu? though it sounds as if the laptiop isnt even getting to stage of checking for all hardware?
