Problem with SOH1633S

SyPTo 2005-07-07 07:00:04 UTC #1

i cross patched it to an 1653 to see if it would work , but i'm starting to think more that the burner is faulty.

I can't seem to read the dvds i create anymore...it seems to write them fine with no errors what so ever but i can't seem to read them after i burned them , older ones are fine , but the last batch i burned are pretty much all shot...

any suggestions ?

have you reset learnt media after crossflashing?
what firmware are you using?
what media/mediacode?
which burn app, version?

would be helpful

1) Yes

2) SOH-1653S CSOP

3) Memorex CPDR47G - 8x DVD+R

4) Nero 6.6.0.8

1/ You should not reset the learned media unless it is necessary. Doing so can sometimes cause problems!

3/ The brand name and media code are not the same. Please see point #4 in this forum's posting guidelines (announcement at the top) for information about the media code. Also, posting the other information suggested by point #4 of the posting guidelines would be helpful.

here's some nero speed test pics...

the bottom one is from a disc made several months ago with the same burner same appz...etc...

you should scan @4x, that's the forum standard for comparison.

With such PI Failures I don't think any standalone would be able to read your DVDs. But like Chok0 said slow down you scan speed to 4X and repost!!!

typical crap e01's i think thats the worst media right now from cmc is the e01's

Same media...NEW drive 1693S

@SyPTo
the media is crap. get some verbatim or fuji. also there's a new firmware KS09 for your new drive.
