I unfortunately own Dell Inspiron B130 with TS-L632D DVD+-RW from TSSTcorp that came with the machine. After 10 months of purchase the device burned CDs but refused to read them, however it read CDs burned by other system. The problem then progressed to DVD burning too. Now, it fails to burn the DVD too. The CDs and DVDs burned from other systems are read correctly. I went for different burning softwares, none worked. I changed different CD and DVD brands, none work. Actaully, the system goes all the way burning but when it comes to validating the burn process, it fails. All attempts to contact Dell failed because the warranty expired. You cant contact them once the warranty is expired, too bad.

Now, can anyone suggest an alternative optical drive that has better reputation (in your experience) that I can replace it with?

The battery life is measly 1 hour only. Can I get an additional battery for this model? If yes, which one?
