Lg Gsa-4163b Dvdrom Refuses To Read Our Most Popular DVD-RW Marks


Recommended Posts

My first dvd-rom becomed broken this month, i have the chance now to use my secondary dvd insted...but then i must first confront and solve its problem that i have been able to push for the future until now

the secondary drive is an LG of exact this model

http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Reviews/Sp...ArticleId=12429

Its problem is that it doenst read certain dvd-rw discs even thou it shall and claims it can, it accually have only been able to read dvd-rw disc from the "Verbatin" label

but it doesnt feel an insertion of "Sony 4.7 Gb" "Imation 4.7 Gb" "Traxdata 4.7 Gb"

but it can read all kinds of cd-rw, cd-r, dvd-r from the above labels, but now i happend to have alot of ther above labels in dvd-rw..so either i can now get an instruction how to possible sett this unit so it can start read all dvdrw "types?", or there is no such jumper? and then i must instead buy a new "none LG"(obviosly) driver instead next.

The ithing is offcorse thatmy old dvd-rom that dont work longer could read this 3 labels, it could read everything..like normal, by the way i would not classify these dvdmedia labels as lowbudget, so i will not appretiate a "your driver is fine, just buy better discs in the future' answer :thumb up:

one silly thaut i have..all this discs have been created in my old burner..perhaps that unit hade some kind of exclusive lock? and it can only be played in its own mark?

The unit is patched with its latest firmware

Windows XP SP 3

Intel Pentium 3.4 GHz

My Mother: P5WD2 Premium

2 Gb ram

The link you provide is dated February 2005 - a time when DVD writers were much less tolerant about the media they would accept.

Even though it might claim that it can read all sorts of media, remember that modern disk types, dye mixes and speeds may not have been around when the claims for the machine were made.

I cant remember but i think this was released even pre 2005? and it still accepted all kinds of labels!

it was so good that it even started to eat and break my discs :flowers: ..thats why im not gonna buy a similar now

just as well as i dont gonna buy a LG that doenst accept discs

but i guess that all dvdrom's anno 2009 support basicly all RW-disc labels and perhaps rarley breaks the disc?
