Hey, Recently i restored my computer to a earlier time because i had some errors after installing a program(using "System Restore") After the restore.. my ASUS DRW-1604P CD/DVD Driver started to not respond. When i put a disc in.. it doesn't load. I tried to update the driver. I even tried to download the driver for ASUS DRW-1604P but i could only find updates for it. (By the way i don't have the CD for the driver) Can any 1 help me about this problem?
Cant really help with your problem, i had a drive that im pretty sure was the same model as yours if not a few off. And it did the exact same thing within a month of having it, only used it 5-6 times. It makes a grinding noise when trying to load discs most of the time but very rarely ever loaded them. I took it to get fixed and it worked for a few more burns then crapped out again. So I recommend, if possible, that you return it to where you got it and get a different one.
Mine also makes a grinding noise but i got this computer 1 year ago from my Uncle, and i don't think returning it is possible for me. Damn.. i really need to reformat my computer but i can't load any discs -_-
Either get a new one, or take it to a electronic repair shop to get it fixed like i did keeping in mind my one just broke within a month.
after mine broke the second time i was going to ask the repair place what they did to fix it, but i never did. A similar problem recently developed in my cd-writer (after about 3 years solid use), so i adjusted the laser voltage potentometers and it now works great. I got the idea for trying this because its a common problem in Playstation 2's and can fix them as well.
eh im not talkign about the sounds the drive makes or anything like that.. i'l talking about the driver installation thingo
