Bizarre 109D Problem - Club CDFreaks

Nero_Khan · 27-02-2005

I recently bought a Pioneer DVR-109D to put in my new rig. On most occasions, it functions properly. However, sometimes it will announce its id on bootup as "Pinnder(sic) DVD-RW DVR-008 0.01". At the times when it calls itself that, it will not show up as a drive in Windows.

I have upgraded to the 1.17 firmware, but that didn't seem to change the problem. I also checked the connections and they were fine. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

check the connection of your ide cable or the integrity of the cable itself. I get very weird readings if I am using a dodgy cable or a cable that isn't properly connected. Reseat the cable and see if this occurs again. It is probably just a bad connection between the drive and the board. I know you said you already did this but try again with a different cable etc. If that doesn't help I have no clue sorry.

Does sound like a communication problem, So the Cable is definite problem or the routing of the cable (does it sit near a fan or something generating some kind of "etheric field <---

)

Either way try changing it, Also use 80 pin cable they offer a better shielding against EMI

Also make sure that you or your neigbour doesn't have an XBOX pluged in the same area as the PC

they are known to have issue with the 109
