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.

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.

My DVD Burner will not open but it shows a red light which leads me to believe that it works but there is a problem with how it is connect or maybe it is an internal problem.

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.

It is not detected as a DVD it is only labeled as a standard CD thought DVD's can be read but burnt, how can i fix that problem?, i already tried downloading drivers from AOpen.com but everything remains...

Have you checked how the drive is listed in device manager? You may need to find the Firmware for your model of drive and Flash it. This usually isn't as hard or scary as it sounds. :)

Drive Can't Burn DVDs

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.

AOpen DUW1608/ARR - DVD Problem

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.

Won't burn

Check which flate cable do you have for its connection. AOpen recommendation is for 80-wire ATA-66/100 cable. In case this is not the cable you have, you should replace it. (The ATA/66/100 IDE cable is made from 80-conductor wire with 40 pin connectors, providing the superior ground spacing required by the ATA/66/100 specs, and allowing the full 100 Mbps burst transfer rate). Another AOpen recommendation is to configur the unit as a "Master" and not as a slave. Good luck
