2lip Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hi everyone, I have a Matshita bd-mlt UJ230AS blu ray burner in a Sony Vaio VGN-FW378J. It will play blu ray but not write to a disk. Luckily I found Img Burn and got log files and at least now I know what is wrong. Hopefully someone here can help me find a solution. I bought a spindle of Memorex blu ray disks. I also have a Sony RE disc. It won't write to either. The only other blu ray discs I have are movies that I bought. I tried burning the Sony RE disk, then after failure I attempted a Memorex BD-R also with failure. I've searched around for what a "power calibration area error" is, and I/O error - but don't know what to do. I have Vista - service pack 2, and 64-bit. I have upgraded the firmware and drivers from the Sony website (Sony support? well, it isn't!)...So, here is a log file: I 21:41:51 ImgBurn Version 2.5.5.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Try with some Verbatim media. If they fail too, you should probably just write the drive off. Slimline ones never have been any good at burning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2lip Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 Try with some Verbatim media. If they fail too, you should probably just write the drive off. Slimline ones never have been any good at burning. They don't sell those around where I live so I'll have to mail order some. Dang! Does the log show at least what might be wrong? What the problem is? (toooo new at this!) thanks, Issy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 All it shows is that the drive is failing to burn the disc... but you already knew that! Have you tried burning at all of the supported write speeds? 1x might not be the optimal one for your drive/firmware/media combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
