just bought a nec 3550a with a aitlink101 enclosure and theres nothing but problems - Club CDFreaks

bruin27 · 22-04-2006

ok so when i first installed everything it looked great..windows picked up everything and the drive was installed very quickly..i put a cd in the nec drive and it read it fine...then when i put a dvd in there thats when the problems began..so far the drive only reads one dvd for some reason...everytime i put another dvd in ithe drive it sounds like its reading it but then nothing happens..when i click on the drive from the computer it says please insert a disc into the drive...ive tried upgrading the firmware and nothing is working..please if anyone has any suggestions..i thought maybe it was because the drive is hooked up through usb but i dunno...please help anyone this is getting really frustrating

Crap enclosure/chipset.

Search for an firmware update.

bruin27 · 22-04-2006

firmware update on the enclosure?

*_chef_* · 22-04-2006

For the chipset inside it.

bruin27 · 22-04-2006

how do i do that...im not real familiar with this....i have it opened up right now what do i do

*_chef_* · 22-04-2006

Must be mentioned somewhere.

Also check with Everest.

bruin27 · 22-04-2006

the model number on the enclosure is AEN-U55..cant really seem to find much on this

bruin27 · 22-04-2006

*_chef_* · 22-04-2006

Software everest home edition

bruin27 · 22-04-2006

*_chef_* · 22-04-2006

Try to find out more about the enclosure.

bruin27 · 22-04-2006

bruin27 · 22-04-2006

the only thing i find on everest is that the usb its connected to says its a mass storage device

bruin27 · 22-04-2006

*_chef_* · 23-04-2006

I think the best idea would be to read the big enclosures thread and choose an reliable enclosure for your burner...
