I HAVE A SONY DW D22A PURCHASED NEW OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT 18 MO'S AGO. RECENTLY I STARTED HAVING JERKY SKIPPY PROBLEMS AND FROM WHAT I READ IT SEEMED I NEEDED TO UPDATE MY FIRMWARE. I STARTED WITH BYS3 AND LATER READ THAT SINCE IT REALLY WAS MANUFACTURED BY LITE-ON THAT I NEEDED TO REFLASH TO BYX5 MAKING IT A DRU-710A. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT WILL READ AND WRITE CD's. IT WILL BURN DVD's BUT IT WON'T READ THE DVD's NEITHER STORE BOUGHT OR HOME MADE. THEN THE NEXT NIGHT IT STARTED READING THEM BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME. LATER IT WENT BACK TO NOT READING THE DVD's. PLEASE DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?
I did not know I was shouting. I also have a DVD/CD player it reads everything OK but I'm getting some ocassional skipping and jerking when playing a DVD movie that I did not used to get. Is there somnething that is affecting both drives? Appreciate any help I can get.
