I need help with my dvd drive the model is MAtshita BD-RE UJ-220 running firmware 1.00 for some reason it won't burn dvd's but everything else works fine any help would be great !!
I also have a Matshita BD-RE UJ-220 in my XPS M1730 Laptop. It plays some DVDs, but not others. It has had this problem for a while and I have not figured out a fix. I tried updating the drivers and it says it is already up to date.

Dell ended up replacing my drive since it was still under warranty (barely). The drives are usually cheap enough where it's not worth trying too hard to fix them.

Hi, rbetterley:
Do other discs work in this drive? Have you tried this firmware update?

I should have been more clear and said that the other disks do not work in this drive either.
I will try the firmware update and get back to this thread with results.
BTW, am seeing the error code 0F00:2870 OPU test failed from the 32 bit utility test Dell includes on the hard drive.
Thanks for your help.
