Hi everybody
I have Combo TEAC DW-548D. Most audio CD's and some video CD's it reads
without a problem but most video CD' it does not read. When burning
through winxp default burner, it shows that it is burning and at the
end it says that the burning was successfull but actually nothing
appears on the CD's. Nero does not see the device.
In event viewer there are errors that CD has bad blocks or some about
paging duration, but the same CD's plays very well on my second PC and
also on friend's computer.
Sometimes, when I insert a video CD and wait looong enough, it starts
to play the video but 90 minute movie appears to be as only 5 minutes
long.
I tried almost everything. Bought and ran CD cleaner many times,
uninstalled drivers and reinstalled. Installed new version of AllInOne
Codecs etc. but nothing helped. I was tired with this so I decided to
reinstall my PC and just to be sure, I also repartitioned the HD but
problem is not solved. By the way, the WinXP installation was done from
the same Combo device without a problem.
After reinstallation i downloaded and installed new firmware. I was not
sure, what version of firmware i do have so i just ran the firmware
downloaded but even this did not helped.
So, please, does anybody know what the problem is and how to solve it ?
Thanks in advance

Perhaps it's just gone faulty. How long have you had it.

Can you try it in another PC.

It's only one year old and still has warranty, but the company
bancrupted and the company which bought this bancrupted company says we
will not do anything with it.
The device is installed in a slim computer from ASUS, so it is a bit
complicated to uninstall the device psysically. I will try, but anyway
I think I will buy a new external device if nothing will help.
Thanks
