Problem with lite-on shm-165h6s

[Lunchbox88]

I am using a lite-on shm-165h6s with the most recent driver (HS0E) and Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x made in Singapore. While trying to burn at first I get a Set L0 Data Zone Capacity Failed! - Reason: Power Calibration Area Error , then if I click continue it writes the entire disk then I get another power calibration error, then fail to verify. I set the burning speed at 2.4x to be safe so Im not sure whats causing the issues. Log attached to bottom of post. Thanks in advance for any help.

Try a lens cleaning disc on that drive. You may also want to try burning at 4x to see how it turns out.

Yeah I will try that, does it have anything to do with the drive being from 2006?

[mmalves]

In part, yes. If cleaning doesn't help then the drive is probably worn out.

Any drive recommendations?

I guess a Pioneer 116/117 would be a safe option
