[QUOTE=pfloyd1;2073637]If it was a new drive, I’d RMA it. It is possible that one of the pieces of the CD damaged the Laser Diode.[/QUOTE]
yeah i know… i also want to return this unit… but my friend opened it… so warranty is voided…
about the LD, i really dont think that it would get damage by a shattered CD, coz i have another drive here that i salvage and pry off its LD, its really hard to take off the on the lens assembly, and there is no way that the particles slip tru the lens cavity coz the only hole you can see is on the lower part w/c has a zigzag cavity going to the mirrors inside. aniweiss… tnx for the advise.
oohhkk… ill gana look for other ways to fix this drive… btw, i also planning to buy a new drive… altho my 3 year old Lite-on SOHW-1653S tweaked drive still has the juice to continue on…
i don’t want to argue with you… nor anybody else in this forum, im just looking for persons who has the same experience that got through from this freaking accident and still enjoying his drive to the fullest…
Really? Money doesn’t come cheap? Wow, that’s a new idea
yeah… money doesnt come cheap…
