Focus Servo Error with DVD+R DL


marmon

Recommended Posts

First off, I did read the post regarding only using the Verbatim +R DL media and if that's really all this problem is, I can try going to find some. The only media available locally was the Fuji branded RITEK-S04-66, so that's what I've got.

 

At any rate. I tried burning a DL disc, and it was nearly to the end with no hiccups when I got a pop up error message regarding "Invalid Address for Write". I tried hitting retry a few times, but that didn't help, and then hit cancel. It then asked if I wanted to try finalizing the disc, which I did, but it also failed. I noticed it said Focus Servo Error in the log, so I figured that was a mechanical issue.

 

All of the settings were at their defaults as I don't usually mess with any of them and never have problems burning Single Layer discs. The only time the buffer dropped below full was when it switched layers, so I thought it was going pretty well. The burn speed was AWS and hovering around 4X during the write. I haven't tried 2.4X yet since I didn't want to waste another disc for nothing.

 

I'm just curious if this looks obviously like something that a firmware update (I've got the most recent one listed by Dell, but maybe there's another), or any other non-media issue.

 

Below is the text of the error.

 

Thanks

You could try burning at 4x to see if you get it to work but that media is crap anyway. Try with the Verbatim blanks and it should work.

 

So I read a few places http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=411765 that the A110 firmware might be buggy and downgraded to A108. This time it worked fine. The media might still be crap, but at least it didn't turn out a coaster this time around. I'll probably still try to get the Verbatim media in the future anyway.

 

Thanks
