I bought a sony dvd rom about a year ago. I had problems with it from day one. I dont know why i didnt return it...it seemed to work fine with the silver backed dvds. which is all i had for the longest time...
Heres the problems i get:
when i try to rip a dvd, the speed goes around 1x, too slow, and eventually begins to cut out. the drive cant for some reason pick up the encryption keys needed to unlock it.... i have a friend with the exact same model, and he can get the keys....
watching a movie, out of the blue, the dvd rom light freezes, and the drive makes a wierd spining down noise. it then freezes up my system. i have to eject the disk and then my system unfreezes.
I thought maybe it was a firmware problem, maybe some kind of compatibility problem.... but i cant seem to find any firmware updates for it. its a Sony DU1621 or something like that...
anyone have any ideas why the thing becomes unresponsive... like i can watch a movie sometimes and its fine, other times it locks up 5 or more times during the length of the movie
thanks in advance
