Replace DVD drive/deck/player in consumer devices?
Is there any likelihood of successfully replacing a faulty DVD drive/
deck in, say, a DVD player or recorder or AV receiver with DVD, with some other type (in particular, a computer drive)? I have heard of people who've successfully used a computer CDROM drive for audio use, but not as a replacement for an existing drive. I'd expect not, except for equipment which uses the identical same deck (very difficult to find out), but thought I'd ask the question. I'm pretty sure of the answer (no), but it would be nice to be wrong... In particular, it would be useful to find a replacement DVD deck for a Toshiba D-VR3 (AK97-00570A BY630399, DP-R1), but not worth more than small money. Please don't email, address doesn't work any more. |

put finger to keyboard and composed: Is there any likelihood of successfully replacing a faulty DVD drive/ deck in, say, a DVD player or recorder or AV receiver with DVD, with some other type (in particular, a computer drive)? I have done this with LG DVD recorders using LG's PC IDE drives. I've also had similar success with less well known brands (eg one sold by Aldi). Some drives have a miniature IDE connector that accepts a flex lead, but the pinout is still the same 40-pin IDE standard. Don't be tempted to operate the buttons on the drive itself as these will only confuse the controller. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |
