Liteon DDa110 DVD recoder appx 18 months old worked perfectly until recently.Now will not read old or brand new discs except those commercially prerecorded.Constantly stays''reading disc'' for hours,have tried switching off/on no good.This may be coincidental but I have heard what sounds like a fan coming from unit for a few minutes & then goes off.Trouble seems to have started since then

It could be as simple as needing to clean the lens that the laser goes through that reads the disk. there are cleaners available for purchase at any retail outlet. If this doesn't fix it then it could be that you have an internal circuitry malfunction. you stated that you hear a fan inside turn on this is a good sign,however there is still a good amount of heat inside to the internal circuit board. over time they tend to fail even though the fan is working. your 2 choices at this point is either have it repaired(the cost of which could be more than the deck is worth and also providing they have the parts for it) or you can just purchase a new one that is better in technology and will have a better usefulness. hope this helps you...please rate the solution.......thanks

Hi

• Check that the power and controller cables are securely attached to the drive.
• Verify that pin #1 of the controller cable is matched to pin #1 on the drive and on the motherboard.
• The operating system may not be configured to use or "see" the drive.
• If it never worked, verify that the jumpers on the drive are set correctly.

TRY TO DO A OPTICAL HEAD CLEANING ON THE UNIT.. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE OPTICAL READER IS DIRTY. AND MUST NEEDED TO BE CLEAN.. USE A CD CLEANER TO DO THIS...

KEEP US UPDATED.,
