Got it this past Feb. from Newegg, and now recently all of a sudden I'm having problems getting it to open, and have had errors when burning cds, it was an OEM drive, and has 1 year limited parts and labor, who do I contact, asus or newegg? and if I end up having to RMA it to Asus, am i going to incure shipping charges?
its the Asus DRW 24B1ST, i saw a few reviews on newgg with people having the same problem.

This item was purchased more than 30 days ago and is no longer eligible for a replacement RMA.

I went into past purchases, and hit replace, and thats the message it gave me.

Time to phone ASUS then 🙂 Usually it's a year on hardware to point of sale, but optical drives might be different.

it's a $ 19 DVD Drive, toast it in the garbage and order a new one. Don't loose your sleep and your time for $ 19

Not sure why people seem to be under this impression still, but ODDs are probably one of the single most common components to fail in computers. I'm not sure why that is myself, but based on around 3 years working as a hardware tech, ODD replacement was probably in the top 5 most common repairs I did.

Anyway, let me know if there are any issues with the RMA or replacement drive.

Yeah, I noticed Asus no longer makes drives with lightscribe support which sucks. My Asus drive still works good but I wish it didn't make that power on "grinding" sound when I start up the computer ever time.

Ya ODD broke all the time. I receive a lot of DOA too. HD, PSU and ODD are the top 3, PSU damage mainly after a power utility surge. Few years back it was the modem after a storm, phones line was prone to get the statics of the lightning.
