Ultrabay slim DVD Burner noise

I've got the DVD Drive for the Ultrabay of my X200's Ultrabase. When it is reading from a DVD it is making an incredible noise due to case vibration (if i push it a little bit upwards with my hand the noise ceases). Is there anything I can do and, if I can't, ist this a problem of the ultrabase or the drive?
Regards,
Daniel

The noises are due to vibrations, which usually mean the drive is not balanced properly, could something wrong with the disks or the motor mechanism.

  • Any Experience with LaCie Slim DVD burner?

    Hi~
    i'd like to buy this external Slim LaCie's dvd burner...
    but while reading the techSpec lines, i realized that , apparently, it does not require an extra power source, though it is via FireWire...
    so i'd like to know how it works on PowerBooks or any other older Macs...
    thanks for ur comments...

    Whilst I do not have direct experience of the DVD burner you have mentioned, I use both external desktop and portable burners.
    The portable variety, like the LaCie, can be host-powered when connecting via FireWire though the drive may also come with a power adapter. Usually they include a copy Roxio Toast to do the burning. Whilst portable burners are not going to be as quick as desktop models, it should still be reasonably quick.
    If you want ultimatee speed at the lowest price then a desktop model is better - you can probably buy several desktop burners for the price of one portable equivalent.

  • DVD Burner noise

    Is my dvd burner supposed to sound like a chainsaw when it burns a disc?

    Hi OlHookey
    No, any disc that does not spin true or makes noise in your superdrive should be ejected immediately and used to make a mobil or thrown in the trash.
    On the flip side, if all disc (dvd movies & music cds) are noisy then there is something wrong with the superdrive and the iMac needs to go in for service.

  • Replace T500 ultrabay slim cd/dvd drive

    I currently have a T500 with a CDRW/DVD drive. I didn't think I would have to burn dvd's, but unfortunately.. I do.
    Can I just buy any generic slim dvd drive to replace it or is the bay specific to lenovo cd/dvd drives? If I have to purchase a lenovo drive, I'll probably just buy an external drive since the lenovos tend to run at rather high prices.
    If you need to know, I'm currently running on Vista Basic.
    Well thanks for any help in advance.
    Solved!

  • DVD burner for ultrabse- advice needed

    I just purchased a Thinkpad x201 with the ultrabase, but didn't realize that the ultrabase didn't come with a DVD burner.  I can't seem to locate the right one to purchase on the Lenovo website.  Can anyone let me know what model to look for?  I need one for backup, music, to play movies, etc.  Thanks for your help!

    you can get something like this. 
    It is called serial ultrabay slim dvd multi. (don't get the serial ultrabay enhanced dvd multi as it is too thick, or the ultrabay slimdvd multi since they use a different pata connector as opposed to a sata connector).

  • USB ports could not recognize DVD Burner and WD Portable disk

    Hello all,
    This is my first question to ask here about X1 Carbon. I hope you could help. I was trying to install a software using the Lenovo slim dvd burner, but the usb ports of the laptop didn't recognize it. Also, I tired to install the software using my portable HDD (Western Digital A08 Elements), but the usb ports of the laptop didn't recognize it as well. I plugged a usb thumb driver into the usb ports; it did recognize it!!! But I really need my dvd burner to be detected. I will appreciate if you could suggest an appropriate solution to my problem.
    Thank you

  • ThinkPad DVD Ultrabay Slim Burner

    I bought an X61 tablet and Ultrabase X6 from a friend, which is shipping now. However, the Ultrabase doesn't have an optical drive. Would I be better off purchasing a Ultrabay Slim Burner (if this can be done) and installing it myself or buying a unit with a burner pre-installed?
    Solved!

    Hi nicktodd, welcome to the forum,
    I would just purchase the drive. There is a bay for the drive in the Ultrabase which has a weightsaver in it, just reove it and slot the drive in - couldn't be easier.

  • Re : T400 2764CTO, 2nd HDD Adapter for an Ultrabay Slim, to be used in the DVD bay

    What is the part # for the 2nd HDD Adapter for an Ultrabay Slim, to be used in the DVD bayCan you also confirm it is a SATA connection, I have already been sent an IBM P/N 41U3148 which has the IDE connection and appears not to fit.

    Actually, it is entirely accurate.  Here is another related thread with a lot of pictures that demonstrate the problem.  I have 3 Lenovo W520s and 3 useless Lenovo Ultramedia bay adapters.  I cannot tolerate the gap because it causes frequent drive dismounts when I pick up the laptop when it is running or even touching the side.  The newmodeus adapters I purchased to replace the defective Lenovo adapters have been rock solid!  I recommend visiting all the picture links on this thread.  It will clearly demonstrate the problem:

    Shan, it isn't entirely correct because we have a lot of W510 and W520 users in my company this doesn't occur with. I am not discounting the problem. I only take exception to the statement that blankets ALL users and ALL hard drive adaptors.  Doing that is incorrect.

  • X230 Table doesn't detect DVD Multi IV Ultrabay Slim in UltraBase Series 3

    We bought two X230 Tablets for two Professors of our University and I'm responsible for getting them ready to use.
    Unfortunately the DVD burner isn't recognized in the UltraBase Series 3 that we intended to use together with the X230.
    I tried it with both of the UltraBase units, with both X230 Tablets and with both DVD burner.
    Did we buy the wrong devices? Is there any driver necessary?
    The DVD burner is not listed at all in the device manager (Windows 7), not even with missing driver. I can't open the disc tray and the LED is not on.
    Please help!!!

    Try to set this in BIOS:

  • My DVD burner is making weird noises.  Doesn't even spin DVD.  Ejects

    When I try to burn a DVD +r from Vuze,my DVD burner tries to spin the DVD cut nothing happens.  Makes a few noises then ejects dvd

    Before bringing your iMac into Apple, try purchasing a commercially, retail available dry brush CD/DVD lens cleaning system disc. These can sometimes revive a non-reading/writing optical drive.

  • New Ultrabay Slim Optical Drive for T60

    I'm after a new Ultrabay Slim Optical drive, whether CDRW or multiburner for my T60.
    Cn anyone suggest what model numbers I should be looking for, as the currently available ones seem to be incompatible?
    Many thanks.

    Hello,
    If I am reading the specs right, the following FRU's are compatible:
    DVD±RW:  39T2570, 39T2828, 39T2829, 39T2851, 41N5643 , 42T2506
    CD-RW/DVD-ROM:  40Y8783 (does not burn DVDs)
    Please double-check with Lenovo support in your country, though, to verify compatibility with your machine type, which is listed on a sticker on the bottom of the unit, and will look something like "1234-ABC".

  • Need new battery and DVD burner for T61

    Hi,
    I need a new battery.  Old one has totally died and won't hold a charge.
    The burner is a different story.  Sometimes it will read discs other times it won't read at all, so I'm thinking it's on its way out.  Can someone supply correct part numbers?  Do you need the current part numbers of the parts that I have?
    Thx
    Mark

    Hi Mark,
    if you have a 14.1" 4:3 standard screen or 15.4" T61, you will need the T60 type battery now commonly referred to as battery 41+ 6-cell or 41++ 9-cell by Lenovo marketing. If you have a 14.1" widescreen T61, you will need battery 33 4-cell, 33+ 6-cell or 33++ 9-cell.
    Here is a useful post with some detailed information I shared with someone else facing similar T61 DVD Burner issues: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T61-and-prior-T-series-ThinkPad/optical-drive/m-p/1077041#M67668. As for part numbers, you will some listed in T61 System Service parts here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-67911#16. I.B.M./Lenovo loves to use many different part numbers for the same component based on the different manufacturers and different Thinkpad models. But basically, what you need is the Ultrabay Slim (PATA) type DVD Multi-Burner which fits T61, R61, T60, x60 dock, x61 dock, etc.: ThinkPad DVD Ultrabay Slim Burner - Overview.
    If you need, I have all of these parts available, including New and used Genuine Lenovo T61 batteries and DVD Burners at terrific prices. I have sent you a PM with more info. Check you "New" messages at the top of this page

  • DVD burner (UJ-825) does not recognize blank media - alignment error

    Is my burner dead ?

    Normally this error message is caused by incorrect Format or some of the cheaper incompatible Brands of Media. I suggest you use this.
    http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
    I also suggest you use DVD-R Media.
    it is the most recognized all around.
    Be sure when you buy that your optical drive will burn at the speed it was designed to use.
    Many of the higher speed media like 16X will not work on older computers.
    They will give you error messages
    Here is another good link that explains it.
    http://www.videohelp.com/dvd
    I suggest you find Maxell 16X DVD-R media in the individual Jewel Cases and read the packaging and you will see that it will burn at 1X,2X,4X,8X,and 16X this media will work with just about anything in the way of computers.

  • External DVD Burner Suggestions?

    I am looking for an external DVD burner.  Any suggestions?
    I was looking at the OWC Mercury Pro units, but it looks like
    a unit from LaCie (d2 or Slim) might be a better idea.
    Any help would be appeciated.
    VB

    If the internal optical drive is not working, consider getting an external that has FireWire (IEEE 1394) connectivity. That way, the external is bootable should you need to boot remotely to upgrade the OS or do repairs from an external disk.
    That also avoid some of the USB power issues.
