How do i change dvd rom unit?... - Computers & Internet

Try changing your DVD regional locale. Some dvd/roms will restrict certain media if the locale is set to some other region than your own. The other thing you can do is update the drivers - - this seems arbitrary and you probably hear that often when asking a techie guru... But it is well justified. Also try different brands of dvdrws. Some dvd roms will restrict +rw - rw. Hope this helps.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/nicole_525c14680d45ee5d

From the users manual:

Region code (BD-ROM/DVD VIDEO only)
Your player has a region code printed on the
rear of the unit and will only play BD-ROMs/
DVD VIDEOs labeled with identical region
codes.

Nothing was said in the manual about changing the region code.

Its WAY cheaper to just replace the DVD rom all together!

I think dear speed of proccessor and the speed of you DVD ROM is deferent that is, you proccessor is faster than your cd rom or vice-versa is also possible, I would rather suggest you to know the speed your old DVD ROM and get another of same speed like old one, or just try changing cable of your old DVD rom and use it.

no you will needa dvd-rw unit to burn dvd's cd-rw/dvd-rom will not burn a dvd being a dvd-rom

change the cable

Change your DVD recorder. The DVD's have 2 lassers, one red for CD & 1 Lila for DVD, both are sinchronized on the same lens but is diferent lasser. DVD lasser is wrong, dead, do you need other DVD unit.

This unit can read most formats, but it doesn't support write operations.

is it sata dvd rom or ide dvd rom?

at first remove the dvd rom. check it is primary or secondary slave selected it. then add the dvd rom.
go to the bios options. check the dvd rom position.
selected is secondary dvd rom. check the power cable.
icon can change it does not mater. you need to open the dvd rom.

Try installing a DVD rom. The sony unit installed in your laptop is a cd rom/burner. Cd roms will not play DVDs.
