Hi ! All I have purchase sony dvd writer(OEM)in india on that one sticker was applied writn as "warranty void if used for Duplicator or Commercial use"is there way to find out how many cd or DVD is writen on writer?. Thanks.
??????? i have no clue what you are asking...?? you purchased an OEM drive and you want to know how many times it's already burned a dvd/disc?? OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, meaning it doesn't come in the fancy retail packaging and usually includes only the DRIVE itself w/ or w/out cables/software depending on WHERE you purchased it... are you saying you bought a USED OEM drive? or a new one? i don't get your question.... docTY~
Here's a system for commercial use,also known as a duplicator: http://www.thetechgeek.com/content/product.php?pid=6616&cid=164 Some of these systems will handle 1-8+ drives. This is some major usage. I don't believe there is a way of telling how many actual burns are on a drive.I've got 1500+ on one of my benq 1620s and she's still holding strong. I've heard of a way they use to track down backups to their original drive.Similar to bullets from firearms through forensics.That's some high tech stuff. Unless you are using that drive in a duplicator like I posted,you should have no worries about voiding that warranty. With the quality of these drive:If you don't have any problems right away,then she'll burn up a storm! The only thing I know that can void a warranty is having a bad flash/crossflash of the firmware with a hacked firmware.With the exception of abuse,LOL
