What is wrong with my T41p DVD-playback?!?

[schoefer]

Hi,

I know that some people allready had a similar problem but I found no solution for me problem.

The Problem:
=========

when I put in any burned DVD or CD in my T41p the work place is not responding anymore. Also WinDVD and PowerDVD do not respond until I get the DVD or CD of the drive. I use the T41p for 10 Month now and it worked always fine (also with the mentioned DVDs and CDs) but few days ago, when I was watching a burned DVD it stuck and after that nearly no burned DVD or CD worked anymore.

what I have done so far:
================

Changed the DVD-drive (no difference)
made complet reinstallation of the system (no effect)
deinstalled the DLA-software (no difference)
updates Bios etc. (no difference)

The IBM hotline has also no further ideas.

What makes me crazy is that it worked always fine until Sunday but I did not installed anything or droped the notebook.

Please help !!!

Got similar prob with my T41p, on burned DVDs only. During playback, it can freeze up. I wonder if the DVD+R disc is the prob. I haven't tried DVD-R to see if it also has this problem.

Funny, in my case the problems were only with DVD-R and I thougt DVD+R would be better!?!?

I think it depends more on the type of DVD. Currently I use "Platinum DVD+R", and these work fine. Before I used "Princo DVD-R" witch were bad.
