JVC DR-MV1SU VHS/DVD burner.
This JVC DR-MV1SU combination VHS/DVD burner has been locking up when trying
to burn a disk. The DVD burner itself looks like it came right out of a PC. It's got the four pin power supply cable and a 40 pin IDE cable going to it. To make a long story short, how likely is it that if I buy and replace the burner with another "made for PC burner," that there will not be any compatibility problems? I was unable to locate the identical replacement burner, an LG GDA-4120B, other than as a JVC replacement part which costs over $230. |

I've never tried to replace a burner, but something made by the same company is the most likely to work. You could try installing the bad drive in a PC to get a better idea of it's capabilities. Andy Cuffe It's certainly worth a try. That would at least tell me whether the electronics in the main unit are bad or the drive itself is bad. Thanks for your reply. -- David Farber David Farber's Service Center L.A., CA |
