Trouble with Lite-On LTD-163
This is a DVD-ROM I've been using for the better part of 2 years. The last
6 months, it has been going downhill. It has difficulty recognizing a CD. Frequently it will fail to see the CD until it times out. When that happens, of course, I can't play the CD; I have to use my burner. Also, it's taking longer and longer to rip a CD--when it does recognize it. It used to rip at 40x. Now I'm lucky to get it to rip at 15x, and it has much more trouble with minor glitches. Is it time for a funeral, or do these symptoms suggest an easy fix? Thanks, Norm Strong |

Lite-On DVD-ROM drives are $20 at flea markets and dealers like newegg.com; it's easier to replace it than futz with a failing 2-year old drive. |
