Device Not Ready (Medium Not Present)

Device Not Ready (Medium Not Present) is what eventually appears on the bottom left corner of the screen (after logical unit tries to become ready) when I insert Verbatim DVD+R DL discs (MKM-001-00). Here is the log:

If it won't initialise the discs and you've tried some from different spindles (or even ones you've already burnt), the drive has probably gone south.

 

Ugh, I'm afraid you may be right. I just tried opening an already burnt DL movie in explorer and windows media player and no luck with either of those. It still reads DVD+R single layers and writes them fine too, however. I find that fact odd. Do you really think it's time to get a new one or is there a way to salvage my less than 6 month old burner? >_<

Try flashing the drive again. Can you remember when you flashed it, did it stick at 10% >?

 

Cannot remember if you can flash back to 103 with just lg firmware, you can with MCSE.

 

Maybe try the older 1.03 firmware and reboot after upgrading firmware, make sure try is closed with no disc in drive.

The last time I flashed it (1.03 to 1.05), it didn't stick but went flawlessly from what I could tell. What is MCSE? Maybe this would help me? I tried going back to 1.03, then again to 1.05 but had no luck with either. Is there perhaps some type of drive diagnostic tool that I could download somewhere? I'm really desperate as I'm sure you can tell because it's doubtful I can get my money back for this drive.
