Matshita DVD-Ram UJ870QJ. Wont import

Have you tried deleting the Upper and Lower Filters to see if this helps? I can look up the procedure if you don't have it or can't find it.

Hi Dale. I have not tried this deleting filters but I have seen a reference to it in another thread and while I was searching for Matshita web site. I shall find the info again tomorrow and let you know if it works.

Found the info for deleting upper & lower filters. Restarted computer but still the same result. As it didn't help should I replace them. I have not noticed anything detrimental in running the system without them as yet.

In an older desktop tower I had, it came with a generic Matshita (made by Panasonic) cd rom that Hoster said would read with Hoster, but exhibited bad imports, audio/grahics both garbled. I had updated the drivers & software for it, but it never did get it to work, had to eventually use my Plextor in that particular case. You may just have to use your external Plextor as well.

i dont think sony has the firmware update for that drive.

I had the same trouble with my HP laptop and Vista. Reformatting & intsalling XPro solved the problem.

thats' a lot of work just to get the cd/dvd to work, in imy opinion, it would be easy to just plugged in an ext. one..
