Recently I purchased a new dvd pioneer 16x 32x.
for 2 days ago I inserted a cd to install a game and all of a sudden a strange noice begun, coming out from the dvd rom. 10 secs later the cd EXLPODED, yes EXPLODED, I'm not kiddin. A big bang and a piece of the cd came flying out to hit my leg. I anmounted the dvdrom and opened it to see that the cd broke into hundreds of pieces scatered all around inside the dvd rom.
It's not a joke...I couldn't believe my eyes and my ears. I didn't know what to think...

Must be a crappy CD? Or rejected drive? Send us a pic I'd like to see

This site is cool.

Nope, no crapy cd and no rejected disc....everything was going smooth on the reinstallation of Alice, new cd, 40% along the process...and BOOOMMMMM.....
I'll try to get a pic until tommorow....

Yeah, i'd like to see that one too. That's a 'slot-loader'?

I always get a little nervous mowing up leaves/twigs because there's usually a few small rocks out on the lawn too that bank off the fence back at me, but having to worry about your dvd putting your eye out?

wow.

 

[Haros]

Yep, it's a slot loader, (more like a slut I'd say after it xploded) It was the newest of pioneer kfor a month or so. It was working smooth and fast.

It depends on what you mean "work". Well now I can use it to break coconuts *lol* Tommorow I'm going back to the retailer to give it back, I'll take a picture of his face when he'll open the drive...

 

[machow]

Before you do that <b>PLEASE</b> give us a pic of your drive... I've never seen one before and I might post it to guinessrecords for "The First CDROM to explode due to high speed CD spinning"

Do you think that if I open it I'll void the warranty? Anyway I opened it for some secs just to have a look (couldn't take a pic at that time) and I saw pieces of the cd and the label all around inside the drive, couldn't see any obvious damage to the hardware (I opened it from the bottom/back, so I couldn't have a view of the spin area, except through the rails the laser eye moves on). Literaly, the cd was pulverised!!!

 

[machow]

Er, I thought the explosion was so severe one look makes you jump. So, I think you should leave the drive alone or you wold need to shell out $$$ to get a new one. Anyway that xtra cash is good too... because no matter how much money you won't be able to get a drive with discs exploding out...

"Anyway xtra cash is good....with discs exploding out" sorry machow, but could you please xplain me what you meant by that...

 

[Negaverse23]

Could you please provide us with a picture of the exploded drive. I too would like to see this.

My CD-ROM drive came with a warning sticker on the front that says that cheap, cracked or dirty discs may explode at high speed. They go on to say that this may void the warranty.

It's a Sony drive... possibly you will have Pioneer try to pass the blame on to you, thus voiding your warranty. Just a heads-up for you.
