Lite-on DDW-813s I actually have a yamada DVR-9000H which has the same drive and the same problems as I have seen asked everywhere. Any idea what Lite-on drive I could use to replace it?

Open the drive (dont break it). Eject the tray, under the tray you should see a small belt drive. Replace the belt with a rubberband of approximatly the same size (a little smaller wont hurt). Re-assemble the drive and it should eject fine. Lite-On drives seem to go through these belts pretty quick, I have fixed hundreds this way. Never had one I fixed come back for the same problem.

I've got a Lite-on 5005. And I'm not using it any more. But I would like to use the converter, from "scart in" to "comp out", build in the 5005. The 5005 preforms a check at start-up whether the DVD/CD player is ok. Now I don't need the DVD/CD element, so is there a option to disable this check? So I can put the hole thing in a smaller box.

I hope is nothing more then using a jumper on the 40pins connector.

thank you, Tom

Throw it away and replace it with a newer recorder. those old liteon's had really bad compatability and recording quality

Lite-on DDW-813s Open DVD draw and you will find a belt drive that open’s the draw Replace the belt I used and ‘O’ ring, the problem is that the draw is not shutting correctly.
