Need some advice on a new DVD burner
Posted: Mon Feb 07, 2005 12:42 pm
I just got the Benq 1620 at Tigerdirect and tested it out only to find some serious problems. I tried to upgrade the firmware but it said "No device found". I tried to use the Book Management sorftware and it said the same thing. Next I tried to burn a data dvd and on 2 of the 3 disk, I received an error message when the data was being verified. I've been using Memorex DVD-R 8X speed for these tests and didn't have any problems with my previous burner. I don't think its the media I'm using given the firmware/book managerment issues so I'm going to replace this drive and was looking at the NEC 3520. Reviews seem pretty good on this drive and I'm wondering what media I should choose for it(Compusa, Best Buy). Also, has anyone else had issues with their Benq drive? I thought this was a good brand but so far, nothing but bad news has appeared. Thanks.
