MATSHITABD-CMB UJ160 Won't Read DVDs

[LiLmEgZ]

My laptop has this Bluray ROM drive that wont read movie/game DVDs for anything... it will read Audio CDs just fine tho...

Anyone know of a firmware flasher for it? I cant find one!

This Bluray ROM drive that wont read for shit is on a ASUS N56V Series laptop.

Edit: I read that these Matshita Bluray ROM drives are worth shit because they wont read certain types of DVDs.

Edit 2: I inserted the Windows 7 DVD I have (just for the fuck of it to see if it would read it) and it read it... I don't know why it will read Windows install DVDs but not movies or game discs... very strange!

I got a laptop Asus w1v with an optical dvd read/write drive with the same problem, the only thing it will read is all original cd/dvd all other no read, couldnt find any solution so I bought a samsung dvd write/read and no problems, it wont help you but thought that you might want know you are not alone with that problem.

Good to know I guess... I also read a bunch of reports on these particular drives made by Matshita not wanting to read much of any kind of discs... at least mine reads Blurays (tested awhile back).

I wish they would fix the problem via firmware flasher or something tho... its rather annoying it doesn't want to read DVDs considering that's one of the main purposes of having a disc drive these days......
