techman Posted December 13, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are right that it's time to buy a new one, so I'll have to read the reviews on cdfreaks or cdrinfo.

blutach Posted January 11, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
