Does the DVD decoder on the lombard motherboard work under X ? If you mean the built-in decoder on the 400 MHz models, absolutely. (I cannot comment on the 300 MHz models). You may need to use PatchBurn if you have updated your media bay to include a CD/DVD-ROM-R-R/W drive. With the super

I thought the DVD DECODER was for reading movies ? Why does a DVD DECODER impact writing DVDs ? Obviously, I volunteered more informantion than you asked for. My use of my Lombard and Pismos is authoring (writing) and verifying (reading) DVDs, almost equally. -- G-Books is sponsored by

Hey guys Thank you for the replies. This problem started after I dissembled the unit to paint the case, after putting it back together apparently a piece of the foil from the bottom case became curled under the sound card shorting it sometimes. I found it this afternoon when I took it apart

Well, that makes me feel really good, Gary. Apparently, some educated guessing gave you the motivation to tear into the Wallstreet. However, if you had mentioned that you had early disassembled the case, I would definitely have asked you about a misplaced part, shield or other obstruction.
