techman Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Drive is only 3 yrs old maybe more? Nah it couldn't be that Seriously you seem to know what could be problems so you should test those theories. I know I just replaced 2 1yr. old Samsung SH-203b drives as they wouldn't burn my Memorex DVD+R DL media at 8x with 2 Samsung SH-223Q drives. The drives are so cheap today if you do a lot of burning be worth it to upgrade anyways
LOCOENG Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 I'll second the notion of obtaining a new drive.
tom942 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) Thank you for your opinions . Both are right that it's time to buy a new one, so I'll have to read the reviews on cdfreaks or cdrinfo. I'll have to read about Pioneer, Samsung or Lite-on because I can Edited December 15, 2008 by tom942

blutach Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 It messed up just as it started writing layer 1. So, the drive has had it - it can't focus into layer 1 to write. Regards
