Hi All,
Having a few problems with my Pioneer DVD rom drive, will play happily for 30secs and then looses sync with the sound ??
The only thing i've changed in the system recently was an WD80gig SE hard drive, and upgraded PowerDVD v4 XP to v5 (Unistalled v4 and installed v5). But it did perform happily for about 2 weeks before the problem started.
I thought it might be the DVD-Rom drive failing ??
PC Spec:
Gigabyte GA6-IEML Mainboard
P3 1ghz Processer
512mb 133mhz Sdram
WD10gig 7200 drive for Win2k / WinXP-Pro (Dual Boot)
WD80gig 7200 drive for Data / Storage
Pioneer 105SZ DVD Rom drive
MX440 64mb GFX Card
Onboard Sound
Irman / Girder
Also it has problems reading CDR's as well ?? I have tried cleaning it, but no joy ?? Is the mechanism in these drives all direct ?? Or does it have belts ??
I hope someone can help me out on this one ?? Becasue i was gonna use it, instead of my main standalone DVD player and sell that. But now i'm having 2nd thoughts ??
Cheers
