yque903 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this so try to bear with me. I've been using the same memorex DL DVD's (yeah I know) for about a good month or so,I DL about 75 to 90 games using the same brand of DVD's I tried burning again yesterday & it gave me (!) "Power Calibration Area Full" message. I looked on this forum & found out that I probably needed to update my drive (Phillips DVD+-RW DVD 8801) so I did but its still giving me the same problem. Any help is highly appreciated, thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Tried another write speed? A log could give some more clues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmalves Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 You could try a lens cleaning disc on that burner, but I'd try with Verbatim 2.4x DVD+R DL blanks first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats probably what it is then, the brand of DVD's that I'm using, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 It's certainly looking like your drive is the issue. Have you tried cleaning it with a cleaning disc as suggested earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yque903 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 As a matter of fact, I did. Damn this sucks. Regardless, I appreciate the tips & info. Thanks again everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
