Club CDFreaks - Knowledge is Power - View Single Post - Optiarc AD-7530A burning/read problems

can1208 · 20-10-2007

Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 1705, WinXP Home, with a Optiarc AD-7530A burner that I installed in Feb 07. The drive was working fine until 2-3 days ago, when it suddenly started writing discs at under 1x speeds. The drive still completes the burn successfully, it takes approx 1 hr to burn a full DVD+ or -R (single layer). Previously it could burn in under 10 minutes flat at 8x. I re-installed Nero 8 to ensure there were no problems with software, still no go. What could be wrong? I'm attaching drive info from Infotool.

No changes have been made to the system configuration.

Any help would be appreciated!
