Won't burn When I first plug my AOpen Duw1608/ARR DVD +-RW in (USB) it says its a DVD burener, as soon as I put a DVD blank into it, it changes to a CD player and will not burn disks.

Can't you just push an opened out paper clip in to the eject hole on the front of the tray cover. It should be just above the eject button.

Look on the front of the tray where the eject button is There should be a small round hole, this is for ejecting a stuck disk. Just open out a paper clip and insert in to the hole and press until the tray opens.

Hi there, you should probably try to open the burner manually, to do so, usualy there is a small hole on the from that you should push with a pin and this will open the dvd. Sometimes the dvd can get stuck if it is not centered perfectly. Thanks.

you will need "flash magic" software, a device to provide 12V power supply to device, one cable to transfer data,download the working firmware for you device and save it to your device.

yes it will

make sure that the dvd burner is getting enough power test all leads that are attached to the dvd burner including electical extensions and make sure they have a secure connection or just replace them there might be bad/faulty or
your drivers may have been corrupted or you might have a virus run your antivrus program
you might have to physically unplug the leads for this cd/dvd burner then plug them back in or
you might have to uninstall then reinstall your DVD/CD or uninstall the driver then reinstall for this device
control panel admistrive tools,computer management,device manager scroll down cd dvd rom drives right click you can you can update driver,roll back driver,or
select properties general troubleshoot, select driver click to reinstall drivers click update driver or uninstall then reinstall
hope this helps

If it is a combo drive then you cannot burn DVD's with it.
A combo drive can burn CD's and play DVD's

If it is a burner, then install Nero and burn DVD's with that. But as above, if it says it's a COMBO drive, then it can't.

if u got a cd with ur DVD RW u neet to install the drivers and then reboot the pc

it's a classic drive failure problem where the laser can no longer burn or read dvd's, and show rhr writer as a cdrw, but may still be able to read or write cd's only. You will have to replace the drive, they are quite inexpensive, and very easy to fit.

Right click on my computer>properties>device manager>hardware and look for line saying cd/dvd drives and highlight your dvd burner. Right click it and click uninstal. Restart your pc and Windows will automatically re install it. See if this works, if not either needs a lazer clean disc or you need to replace it they are cheap these days.
