I bought one unit of LG H10N DVD-RW Drive from Romper_83 aka Ahmad Hidayat Abdul Rahman, helping a friend of mine to get it for him. Stock arrived on 6th of May, and I passed it to my friend at night on the same day. The next day, my friend called me up that the drive cannot read any single drive. So I PM-ed Romper_83 about this matter and he replied me back with...



The comment he refered to is this

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=273533&st=70#

I told my friend about it, he tried, same result. So I went to his house to take the drive and tested it out myself at home. Same result. I PM-ed to Romper_83 again telling him that the drive is completely faulty. Although system can detect the drive, but the drive won't even read any disc, be it DVD or CD. He asked me to send it back to him to be replaced.



I sent the item back to him on 15th May, and until now he don't give me any response at all. I PM-ed him 3 times, still he ignores my PMs.

Please see his last login time.

So to Romper_83, come out here and explain yourself. My friend is very angry about it. You make me no choice but to report you to Trade Dispute.

I want to share my experiences on my DVD Writer (LG GSA-4163B). I know it is not the same model but maybe affected yours too.

My writer also faced the same problem but after I did some googling, I found out that the writer *cannot share the IDE cable with other drive. So, I took out the harddisk that shared the cable with the writer (as the slave) and it worked flawlessly ever since.

* IIRC, it said if the writer cannot functions properly, try not to share the IDE cable attached to the writer with other drive. I tried on mine and it worked.

Too bad I can't tested it anymore as I'd already sent back to him. Thanks for the input.

Mine sharing IDE cable with my other dvdcombo drive. Works flawlessly. Perhaps due to some batch have the problem?

Complaint on hold first. Get a reply from him and doesn't wish to make thing too bad.

IDE is designed to be able to cater for 2 drives per port. If a device (cdrom/dvdrom/hdd) must work alone in one port then I personally would consider it as a faulty product.

Anyone who have such problem, try making the drive MASTER. Most problems would be solved by setting the drive to be master. Setting it to be the only drive in a port, I won't accept it.

If you need support refer to my thread.

Some says it ok like Lucas said his drive OK can burn 8 minutes but mine took 1.5 hours just normal data dvd. maybe some drives got problem.

Well, the thing is, the drive can't even detect any discs. Tried some methods but still the same.

The drive is with him now. And I've no idea if he had tested it or not. Now he's dragging my time again.

maybe some drive got issues here. but there's no logical explanation to go MIA. always keep your buyer updated even if RMA will take years. i hate stupid unresponsible seller-individual or retail.

Gawd, now seller MIA again.

Well, I have been very kind giving you sometimes to settle. But if the money belongs to me, I'm fine with that, but it is my friend's. At least you give me a reasonable answer so that I can explain to my friend. My friend trusted me and also trust you can refund back to him. I don't know how long my friend can wait though. So once again, please settle this asap.

As for killa priest, I don't know how I can help you out. I never deal with him before, so any information regarding on him, I'm clueless. Even so, don't drag him into our matters. Its between me and you now. I'm going easy on you cause I don't like to make matter worse. Hope that you can appreciate my kindness.

romper, u better appreciate his kindness for the time being. u better pay up fast. after u finished enjoying all your profits, now only u surfaced.

Upon hyde's request i can come knocking on your door.

cannot use cable-select.. must use either master or slave...

what kind of business man does not even have RM130 as "float" for the business? Can't even afford RM130 then better don't do any business. You do know what is "float" right?

that is two different issue . if this issue is between you and him , that doesnt relate this with ur business .
something like u go to supermarket and ask for refund , the supermarket say that ppl still owe them something ... cant refund to u .

any updates on this case? my hands been clean for quite a long time.

Well, he promised me to refund in this month. So I will just wait for the meantime.

ok. good luck and keep us updated. i'm not trying to be kay poh or anything, but looking at all dispute cases, too much talking has been done, less action. so now I think I can help since it's in my area.

i think he has already fled....since he has not been online for some time....

No, I appreciate your concern.

Hopefully not happening gua. Like that my friend is very unlucky.

so how many trader been doing bulk for tis problematic LG H10 so far?

Well, can't really give any comment whether he's a student or not.

Not really sure, but quite a number of around 3 bulk sellers.

Latest update headline

Romper promised to refund to me based on his given date. I have agreed to him so I will just wait for it. Yea, its take quite a long time to settle, but pushing a stone where over 80% of its body is buried under the ground isn't a good idea either.

erm wanna ask Hyde`fK

the LG H10 drive, is it OEM or BOXED version?

still no news?

Its OEM.

He promised to pay me either on 25th or 1-2 days later. So we'll just wait for it.

well wat to do a bussinesman who dont have money...god after selling all those drive still dont have money wonder where it all goes too....well not everybody born as salesman....cheers hope ypu get your money soon.....very tired la if like this luckily you have the patient to wait...if it me....hmmm already track him lor..

so today already 27th.. refund edi?

He's selling handphone now
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...5&#entry7581045

If he's selling to pay me back, its understandable. He doesn't con people(well just yet), just that lack of unresponsibility. Its 26th today btw, not 27th. PM-ed him, hope I can get a reply either today or tomorrow.

To Romper_83, its RM130 so don't forget about it.

so has he paid u yet? i've read thru his phone sale thread, he said will pay u with his paycheque...so i dont think u should wait for his phone to be sold off. that's only giving more time for him to delay.

Not even a PM from him regarding on asking me for bank details. Sigh...

wah .. this kind of seller also got ah .. dun lah like tat .. RM 130 . ppl ned to use to buy something mah .. romper come out and just pay tat F**King RM 130 ..
u get it from ppl . and now u ned to return as this is business ..
come on lah .. sell handphone to upgrade handphone . means u got money lah . if not how u goin to upgrade handphone . so now since u
got money upgrade hp . then pay ppl back lah !! ..

pm/sms him and let me know. i'll pay him a visit if he gives u unsatisfactory explanation.

Ive paid Hyde money 2 days ago..thanks for ur comment..btw...can u guys help me to find killa priest?that guy never show up or call me..

how come u post to tat guy w/o paying u first?

its a cod situation...he want to buy 2 dvdrw..but he paid only one dvrw...he promise to pay the other one 5 days after..so i give him 2 dvdrw since that he said that he really need to use it..i trust him...he give me his no..but i cant reach him with the no..maybe its fake...huhu...he works at south city plaza..at restaurant..(i know this bcoz he called me from his restaurant)...he said his name is david..can u guys help me?

u call lkseng88 coz he alwiz go there south city.

XD My name is also David, but I'm from EW. Haha.

Yup, my friend just confirmed me that he got the refund last night. So its all settled. As for killa_priest, I hope you can settle your matter with him soon.

Nice too see a happy ending.
I guess this thread can now be closed?

put a thread in Kopitiam perhaps?

nice to see this settled, closing this thread.
