Page 1 of Anyone Know The Make Of DVDrom On ALDI Specials?

I was one of the (very) lucky ones yesterday who got my hands on one the £699 ALDI PC`s.

I had not had the chance to open the box up yet, so I was wondering if anybody knows what make the DVD ROM drive is, and if a Region hack is available.

I`ve read all the documentation and been to Medion`s web site, but they do not mention the what the drive is (except it`s x16).

Thanks in advance.


Alan.

I work in the PC industry and the likelihood is the part is multi-sourced. They probably can`t guarantee the manufr only the spec.

I saw this deal and it looks exceptional !

Alan, go here and get a utility that will tell you what your drive is and whether it is region fixed:

Then go here and see if there are any firmware fixes for the drive:

Hope this helps,

Thanks Dave

I`ll try this when I get home tonight.


Alan.

How`d it go?
