after i flashed my w163A with the TS02, it couldn't read any CDs/DVDs anymore.
flashing back on TS01 didn't help either.
i already deleted upper and lower filter in the registry.

System:
Windows XP Service Pack2
Motherboard: Asus P5b
Processor: Core2 Duo E6550 2mal 2.33 GHz
RAM: 2x 1024 MB
DVD-Laufwerk: Samsung SH-W163A (S-ata)

thanks in advance

winxp identifies the w163a, it just can't read the CDs.

yup, since i flashed the firmware on my drive. before that, i could burn a lot :)
the firmware was TS01, and i tried to flash it to TS02.

edit: oh, and i can eject and load the w163A via windows or programs like imgburn.

Test the drive in another computer.

It either needs a clean (lense) or a replacement.
