*maybe the drivers got removed or scrambled - you can go to whoever makes them (the brand name)and get the updated drivers for it and it might start working again.*
be sure to go to the manufactures website only and not some other site as some of those are questionable.
ahh they have an Automatic Product Detection here - looks like you need to use IE or certain versions of Firefox .
[use one of the following browsers:
Internet Explorer (IE) 6.0, 7.0, or 8.0
Firefox 3.5.x or 3.6.x
Google Chrome 4.x, 5.x, 6.x or 7.x]

that link might be just what you need to get the light scribe going again..
and the out of warranty info /help page -

If you can't burn a cd at all - you'll have to order the recovery disks.
but another complication might be the different motherboard..??
Too bad that computer guy didn't make the recovery disks for you...
that info I posted in the last post tells about the recovery process- and w/the link to HP |
I have no idea if my cd rom thingee burns anything. Years ago I did burn a dvd using the lightscribe thing.
When the guy re-partitioned the hard drive, (and because I rarely do dvds) I had no way of knowing if the stupid dvd rom thingee worked.
Only when I could not play Avatar (or any of my other dvds), well, that's when I found out. I dowloaded all the correct codecs and nothing helped. I went back to the guy and he told me to bring it in and he'd fix it but at my age and with my arthritis I'm not lugging this monster out of my house anymore.
He said 'your lightscribe dvd rom is no longer functioning" I had figured this out.
But the cd rom thingee works fine.
But everything else, well, forget it. Someday I'll get a router, and my own laptop and I'll just save up.
I don't want to have this big monster as my second computer. I have no place to put it.
And I do THANK YOU for answering all my questions. You and Allengamer have helped me tremendously.
I'll post a new video when I get my new computer.
Take care thanks very much my dear Jo.
