Gigabyte DVD drive and general poor quality
Anyone experience any sticky issues with their Gigabyte DVD drives? I left a
cd in the drive for a while and one day I had trouble removing it. I pressed the eject button but it seemed like it was stuck. After several tries, the tray popped open jerkily. Then I noticed there was a sticky substance around the hole in the centre of the cd. So it seems the gasket or washer in the drive was disintegrating and releasing this sticky substance. Their mobos have loose sockets allowing dust to get in and messing up the computer. They have to be cleaned out every so often, while other boards like MSI don't have this problem. I am getting increasingly disgusted with Gigabyte for their poor quality products. This will be the last time I ever buy anything from Gigabyte. |

Gigabyte DVD drive and general poor quality
Some Hitachi video recorders had a problem with a washer, the washer
just de-composed causing a sticky black gooey gunge, which just got worse as you wiped it... to get the gunge off I had to wipe them with Isopropanol. Sounds much the same, they just de-composed, no heat involved etc. I have no problems with Gigabyte mobos though. Was wondering if it is really a Gigabyte or someone else's made under license for them. Davy |
