LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 If your drive won't burn the media there are normally only 3 things you can do: Drive - clean it or replace it Firmware - update it Media - change it

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Check on the website / support area (ring them if need be) of whoever made your computer. To clean it, you just use a cd/dvd cleaning disc - this is something you have to buy.

Cheddars Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 I found this post about your burner. Sorry. I had one replaced under warranty - coz they're crap ... The TSST range are infamous, nay notorious, within the laptop market as being badly designed optical units purchased mainly for cost-saving exercises to keep overall production costs down, thereby maximizing profit. My Acer has a TSST L-532A DVD-Dual (+/-RW) drive, and it just died after about 5 months. Acer replaced it under warranty. Unfortunately the replacement died 8 months later - out of warranty! They are generally well-known as being too small to effectively dissipate the heat that they generate.
LOCOENG Posted December 26, 2008 Posted December 26, 2008 Generally speaking most if not all laptop/slimline burners are shiite compared to their fullsized brothers....I would recommend a nice external burner.

ZetasCry Posted December 31, 2008 Author Posted December 31, 2008 Read this about that. what is this i dont understand and i know how to burn successful backups
Cynthia Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Tried to find something later in firmware but I can't. From the various posts it looks like a very unsupported writer from HP.
ZetasCry Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) is there no other way i used up all my dvd dl and now all i have is 4 dvd dl left Edited January 2, 2009 by ZetasCry
mmalves Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Your writer doesn't support the discs you're using. A firmware update could add support for those discs but we couldn't find any. Your options are: get a new burner or Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x media.
ZetasCry Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 then how did i get successful writes before this finalzing problem
Cynthia Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 You used the same media as now? Disc ID: RITEK-S04-66
ZetasCry Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) yep i had used the same media, as in memorex dvd+rdl disc and yes i have about 6 successful burns Edited January 3, 2009 by ZetasCry
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Just so long as you're aware that the brand name stamped on a disc doesn't mean anything. It's the dye they're using that's important - and in this last case that was 'RITEK-S04-66'.
