My media pc is getting worse. Now it won't read some double layer blurays. Am I cooked?

I remember how simple life seemed when I believed that a backup to a CD was thought to be "a good safe backup" and the belief that it would last for ages.

Replacement Playstation optical drive from TotalConsole works very well -- this was being discussed as a drop-in-and-go replacement (not tuning) and it's worked with everything I've tested it with so far except one CD-R that I burned about 18 years ago.

My original Playstation from 1996, which I mod-chipped and in which I recently replaced the PSU (and optical drive).

Haujobb scenedemo playing here, Orgonakkumulator (1999).

Looks like it works!!!

I just need to dremel an edge of the upper case down to remove contact with the drive plate.

Yay! This PSX has been out of commission for about three or four years!

About to take another stab at replacing the laser unit on my original PlayStation from 1996. This time, the mechanism is pre-tuned and pre-aligned. It cost twice as much, but apparently it should be drop in and go.

🤞

So the bd drive in my mediapc doesnt work anymore, i hope its just my wack ass windows 7 installation and not the actual drive cause that would be horrible.

It's been a very, very long time since I had to burn any sort of optical media. I'm glad I finally get to use one of the blank #DVDs that I have laying around for something. :D

I'm burning a copy of Windows 10 Enterprise for a friend.
