Hi,

welcome back

I suspect, ebay will be your only chance to get such a drive - possibly worn out

Hi
You are joking?
Good to see you online.
As for the drives try an antique market.

Welcome back:

Is that a trick question? A friend of mine has a 822A but it's not for sale.

Re: its been awhile...

heee... not a trick question.. just that i have a dvd recorder which happens to use a philips model VAD8301.. and guess what the laser died .. i suspect that is similar to those model using the philips chipset... all i have to try is to dump the firmware out.. and flash the replacement drive with the original firmware..
