maybe this is a stupid question, but I was wondering what was the differences between these 3 choices dell offers for the sxps 1645
slot load blue-ray disc (dvd/cd read/write + bd read)
slot load blue-ray disc (bd) combo (reads bd and writes to dvd/cd) (same as first choice ???)
slot load blue-ray disc (bd) burner (writes to dvd/cd/bd)
I wanted to know if the "CD/DVD burner" listed under the Sony F series configuration, from the sony website, was a Dual Layer DVD burner or just a regular dvd burner?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am tired of the one I have now. It takes well over 30 minutes to burn just one CD.
I have the philips dvd burner that came with the laptop and I simply do not like it. Some CDs it wont even read, while other drives can read them.
I noticed that dell list two compatible models, YP311 and XX243. On Dells website they both have identical descriptions. I assume Dell is just switching between two different manufactures.
Does anyone have any advice if one functions better then the other?
Are there drivers for the factory latitude d600 cd/dvd burner? My father bought a brand new dell studio laptop and he had an old d600 with the cd/dvd burner and i took the burner from his computer and put it in my latitude d600 which did not have the cd/dvd burner .....

whats the best current drive with best results, I know this is subjective but any thoughts would be apreciated
always heard NEC drives are good
need my customers to be able to go home and the disk to work, have had to reduce my current samsung drive down to 4 speed from 8 as getting a few clitches.
I just need the model name. Manufacturer if you can get it.
Go to My Computer, right-click drive and go to Properties. Then the hardware tab and it's the thing that ISN'T your hard drive. Or Device Manager, expand DVD/CD-ROM drives.
I recently purchased an e6400 off of the business outlet, and everything is in working condition. However, upon insertion of the cd disk tray, there is a sound which I have never prior heard coming from a cd drive
(boilerinvasion.org/2010/VORC003.wav for a recording. IE7 will open it, IE8 will not).
I went ahead and contacted CS, and they overnighted a replacement, which I put in, but it still has the same sound, though to a lesser degree as far as I can tell.
1. Is this normal, or is this a problem with the dvd drive/notebook as a whole .....
Does anyone know if the blu-ray burner that is used in the XPS 16 can be used as a direct swap in the studio 15?
The reason I am asking is because I have a 16 with the blu-ray burner but the xps 16 is a bit bulky. I still need equivalent power and multi-media capabilities but the 15 is almost a pound lighter and lends to a little more portability.
I am considering purchasing the studio 15 but can't justify the costs of adding the blu-ray. I got my xps 16 with blu-ray for a steal and I can't duplicate those kind of savings with the changes recently made to EPP.
Ideally, I would like to swap the dvd drive and throw it into the 16 in addition to adding the blu-ray to the 15.
Thanks in advance!
just looking for software/firmware (if i need any) to support the OEM dell blu-ray burner for the m1730 as i just ordered one from an online store...
just curious...i assume that vista will go to windows update to look for drivers when i install the new drive....not entirely sure. i looked on dell's web site and did not find blu-ray specific software for the m1730....
It says it comes with
8X Slot Load Super Multi (DL DVD+/-R Drive + RAM support)
Is there a place that sells the blu-ray burner that dell puts into their laptops now?
Do you have to buy from Dell? Is this drive compatible with the inspiron 9300? I have modded the bios on my 9300 to the M170 bios. Also, will my video card handle this drive and blu-ray movies? I have a 7800 GTX.
Let me know what you guys think about this.
I just got my new Inspiron 15z a couple of weeks ago and attempted to burn my first audio CD. When I pushed burn playlist to disc it began initializing and then immediately canceled the disc burn. A message appeared saying that "the attempt to burn a disc failed, an unknown error occurred (4310)."

They HAD to use a Mata UJ230AS drive didn't they?
A laptop by its very design is to be used as a portable computer, yet due to the nonsensical region coding, it means that when I go to the USA on buisness or vacation, I cannot use the DVD player!
These Matsu drives are the ONLY ones which cannot be modified to play any region.
Its unethical.
I can legitamately buy a dvd in the USA, putting money into Sony pictures coffers, yet Sony won.t allow me to play it on their laptop .....
Well I used to have Record Now on my old Toshiba, I got a new: FW390 Sony notebook
Do I have a preinstalled CD/DVD Burner software on my notebook?
Just purchased F series Vaio with Blu-ray burner (Mata BD-MLT UJ240AS). Wondering if other users have experience with various blank media that work, and work best. I'm guessing the Sony BD-R will work, but there are less expensive blank discs out there.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a dv5 1010tx (Vista Ultimate 64), which has an Optiarc BC 5500s Blu-ray player/ DVD burner combo. I have found the burner has trouble reading DVD'S it has burned, especially DL. Have tried different media, even Verbatim. My toshiba laptop seems to read these disks with ease, so I suspect it's a firmware issue. Has anyone else had this problem, & has anyone found a solution. No reply from my enquiry to HP as yet, & the firmware updates provided on the Optiarc site are said to be not compatible with drives installed by HP, Dell ect. I also note this was a problem with the BC 5600s, for which HP provided a firmware update earlier this year.

I already came to some threads here, which said this particular drive has problems with DVD burning. But why do they place it in my laptop?
My sister has a HP laptop with a bad DVD burner, it won't burn and it makes a grinding sound whenever a disk is in the drive. I don't know the model, anyway it's still under warranty and I'm wonder if she will have to send the laptop back in order for them to replace it. Sending it back is a big no no, and I can replace the drive myself.

It only seems to happen when I'm playing WoW... and its getting really annoying. I had thought it was an overheating problem before, but I've been able to keep my GPU temp under control pretty well lately.
My wife picked up a Dell 1537 and has been experiencing blue screen issues. It only happens when the computer is turned on or restarted.
I have checked the event viewer and there is nothing that looks suspicious or outside the norm. I made sure that drivers were updated. I tried running Memtest86 but it closes and starts to load Windows after running for 10 seconds
I bought my 1640 refurbished and it had eveything I wanted except for Blue Ray. So to rectify this I went on a search for a Blue Ray that would fit - Dell wanted $389 for a refurb-
I found a a tear down picture and zoomed in to get the part number BC-5600S. I confirmed this with the service manual.
I found one on Ebay for $130 so I ordered it. Some of the other players out there have an eject button - the BC-5600S does not have a eject button.
Has any one done this upgrade and could offer some tips or advise?
Or am I going to be the guy that needs to do that for you?
I have a inspiron 1505 with bluetooth 355 factory installed.
When I use the Blueant b/t headset and skype I get the blue screen and with as I recall the error message is E08.
I have queried dell, blueant and skype about what could be causing this but without success.
I was wondering if anybody could help me. I have a m1530 and my LCD has this blue lines going down the screen majority of the time. However if I angle the LCD just right it goes back to normal.
It appears to be some kind of connection problem because (again) it does go back to normal after moving around the screen to that exact angle. Anybody have any suggestions? I have added comparison pics to this thread.
Please excuse the poor quality pics...i dunno why my camera did that. I just wanted to ask here first to see if I can open up the laptop and fix it bc I'd have to downgrade back to Vista before sending the laptop to Dell.
