It should be able to burn DVD +R DL media at 2.4x speed.

 

Might be that the brand you use is not very good.

 

Can you switch to read mode and insert a blanc disc and copy the info in the disc info panel window? (Assuming that the computer is not yet outside the window).

i inserted a blank DVD+R (not DL because when i insert them nothing shows in the info panel window) in read mode and this is what i get:

You don't have to throw the whole computer...

 

The last firwmare update is way back in 4th May, 2006 and that is already installed in your drive.

 

If the Verbatim DL 2,4x don't work, you should start looking for a new burner, 'couse your is way old.
