Topic: Liteon 1673 & 1693 - CDR Problem

[daigoro]

Apparently there is a problem with these Liteon models which were released late last year. While burning cdr's, there would be an instance that the burning process will end with an error. After that, the drive would no longer read cds, it can only read dvd's. I should know as it happened to me 2 days ago. So i have sworn off liteon's and bought an  LG H22 lightscribe model.

Bro where did you  get the info? I have assembled 4 pcs for my friends with 1693s models last year, and none have resulted with the said issue. Mine is just brought last november and got no problem as well.

'Been a lite-on user since 2003, from 24x cdrw era to dvdrw 8x era, and so far I did'nt get any defective drives.

I think this just happened to my Sony-NEC-Optiarc MultiDrive. Crap. Were you able to fix your drive?

I have to boot twice to get my 1683s to work, otherwise, the "redundant...." something error appears and won't read anything.  What is happening to liteons?
