Hi there
Thanks for your reply..
I bought this second hand and worked flawlessly for the month I had
it, and it was on my sixth week of ownership that I attempted to play
a burned dvd.
I found it the case that normally the cheaper models will play
everything
-- but was wondering if there was a way to making this one
do the same.
Can I replace the DVD drive for another?
I suspect it'd be the same as a computer dvd-rom drive, right?
