Are the problems fixed yet? Most of the complaints look like they are from 2007, 2008, 2010, etc. Here we are in 2013 ... did Memorex fix them?

They work great for just data backups. They will not burn DVD movie backups for some reason I always get a "Burned Failed" error after my DVD burner burns the movie. So I wasted another expensive DVD DL.

I used over 150 disks (more than 6 packs) to burn DVDs for my son's talent show movies and very few bad disks. Every time you get a spindle there are a few bad ones, but this was better than I've used in the past. No complaints. Would use them again if needed.

I recently bought this and the first three discs I tried to burn -- at 2x instead of the 8x they advertise -- wouldn't run. I returned it hoping for credit, and while Amazon notified me that it had been received, they didn't give me credit for it. Further, I was never contacted saying why they didn't give me credit, nor did they offer to return the defective product to me in lieu of credit so I could at least have used them for single layer. I'd say absolutely DO NOT BUY THIS!!!

Not that I am aware of. This is the second batch of 8X double layer from this company that does not work for coping backup movies to DVD. As far as just storing data they work just fine.

Have had my unit 2 years and at least 4 updates with no problems at all. Are you sure the old update problem still exists? Updates during the year appear minor, but should be done whenever you are taking a long trip to unknown areas.

memorex makes more than one 3851 that look similar but do not perform the same. i like mine, but took back another one that had a different suffix after the 3851.

I don't have any problemas with the 8.4. I read and edit documentos without problems. For me it's ok.

Only a small number, the first production run, had that issue. Virtually all (possible literally all) of the flawed units have been recalled/repaired/replaced. All the units which were still at Amazon from within that first run were recalled and replaced (likely repaired at the factory and re-shipped as new products?). Bottom line - if you buy one today, especially one from within Amazon's inventory, you can feel very safe that your device is free of this defect. I bought mine recently, have had it for about three weeks now, and it's working flawlessly. The only issue I've had is with the installation of the PLEX server, and the "start menu link" to PLEX (but I can start Plex directly, using the link address given in the installer). I would not worry, at all, about bad memory chips at this point.

I just got the same ERR.. message last night. Mine had a manufactured date of 8/9/04 so it was probably a couple months old when I started using it. Almost exactly a 7 year life....amazing!

Question for you: Have you contacted BOSS Tech Support about getting an updated MapMicroSD card yet? There is a known issue with the factory sent card and they are sending out updated Map SD card at no charge. I am still waiting for my replacement to arrive but maybe it gives an ealier warning to upcoming turns. I am hoping so at least as I too saw the same late warning you are describing.

Hi sijia, my issue was with the drivers/software not playing nice with my computer. I had an alien ware m17x at the time. I never pin pointed the problem but I was able to get them to work by installing the updated software from the website. However I was getting crazy errors. But I noticeed after running the installer you will have like 6 new programs under add/remove programs. So I started uninstalling one at a time and seeing when the errors stopped and when the lights would still turn on. Unfortunately I feel like everyone will have a different problem, but it's a place to start. Good luck! Hi sijia, my issue was with the drivers/software not playing nice with my computer.

I have not had that issue. Make sure you're current with updates from Lenovo.

Within the last 6 months, I have purchased 2 units because I was replacing old ones. The first one works fine but the 2nd one I purchased a little over a month ago is having "sticky problems" in that if I want to delete each number individually, it might decide to delete ALL the numbers displayed instead. I bought it new.

i am currently using an older version on windows 8 that worked fine with 7. so i expect no problems with 2013.

I've read on the Finale website that there were some problems. I'm not sure if they have all been resolved. Go to their website, check the user forums or send them a question. I've sent a few questions in the past and they do respond promptly. I've been cautious about updating the OS as well. Good luck!

I have had no issues just using Word and internet. It's ran smoothly. It's just hard to get use to the new operating system.

I have had it since October with no issues at all. I must say that a BIOS update was needs because there were some throttling issues, and I consider unacceptable fiddling with a brand new out of the box new GPU BIOS. But beyond that I haven't had any problems. Probably some production batches were faulty and hence people having issues with it, maybe I was lucky. So far my experience with this card has been great, but that's just me.

I'm sorry, it has been has been so long but I don't recall having any particular problems. Good luck!
