Substitute a Matshita UJ-811B - Club CDFreaks

pierrotmonami · 30-03-2007

Hello everybody.
I own a ACER 1603LM aged 3 (very bad machine, anyway

) with a Matshita or Matsushita UJ-811B CD/DVD burner. I used it for months burning everything without serious problems, perhaps I used it too much. Then it stopped burning and I had it changed because of warranty. They put the same identical model. It worked bad some months then it stopped even reading ANYTHING. DEAD. Now it's 1 year I'm using my notebook without drive and of course without reinstalling Windows. I wolud like to buy another drive, even if it is not a DVD burner, even if it is used but I don't know if I can simply substitute my drive with it. I think many Panasonic UJ-xxx drives could perfectly fit - but - will they work properly? Any suggestion?
Thanks guys

Panasonic is Matshita.

Thank you: ok, Panasonic = Matshita.
But I still don't know if I can substitute my UJ-811B with a UJ-830 or any UJ-xxx which can be found in eBay. If yes, what else should I do in order to have it work properly?
PLEASE HELP ME!

Another question: is Matshita the cheap version of Panasonic? Read - should I choose the latter?

== same company.

Buy an Pio or Plextor slimtype and try your luck.
