Pistol Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 i have this gateway notebook ML6720 got it in oct 07 last night my dvdr drive started making a buzzing noise. actually longer than the intermintent noise when popping in a new dvd or a dirty dvd. and now my drive is not recognizing dvd's i put in. i checked for updated drivers and i was up to date. updated vista stuff. i just updated anydvd today. not sure if that would have anything to do with it. i shoulda just bought the warranty and used this laptop like a stolen car. *if it matters this is my comp for burning dvds/cds so im thinking the laser might be shot.

Pistol Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 is it even cost effective to try and track one down and buy a internal dvd burner for my laptop considering in cost 500? gateway doesent have prices for the drive. thinking about making this one a 'desktop' and grabbing a new notebook if the drive is too expensive.

autoteller Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 lappy repairs are just plain fucking intimidating, but if you have the right tools, and you take your time (and have an ESD mat more specifically) it's very easy. not as fast as any sort of desktop repair. but most things can be done in under an hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seffiks Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 it is capable of blocking incoming and outgoing connections based on IP blocklists. (The system is also capable of blocking advertising, spyware, government and educational ranges, depending upon yer user preferences in other words its a firewall, it stops hackers and RIAA heads from checking on what you are downloading it is mostly used for people who use torrents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
