| 1158635 | 2010-12-04 04:08:00 | Today My laptop decided it was going to refuse to burn 6x DL DVD's, I was not a happy chappie as I was now the proud owner of 6 DL printable coasters. :annoyed: Since IMG burn refused to "burn" I thought that one of the following would work: Blow Torch Blu Ray laser 600ml Petrol Microwave All resulted in chaos and more melted plastic than one would want to clean up :p All in all, I am 6 disks down and overly annoyed. I also have to wait 2x hours before I can get hold of another drive to burn with, may result in more coasters :crying. Rather annoyed as it has worked 5x before (2-3 months ago) now it wants to dance with death and a sledge hammer, I must say it got pretty darned close when the 5th disk died. btw, attached is IMG burns error, if anyone can spot my stupid mistake (if any) or what I may be doing wrong, slap me now. Burning backups of NFS Most wanted and COD black ops (I own all of these titles, all legit backups NFSMW was scratched and had skipping/read errors whilst black ops got broken when some douche stood on it and it snapped) Layer breaks set correctly on writing drive |

| 1158637 | 2010-12-04 04:26:00 | Hi, Try cleaning the lazer glass bead with a very soft fine brush or can of air duster. I have "fixed" several laptops that way. Because the lazer faces up and is less protected than a normal drive (it pops out every time you open the drive) they tend to collect dust. |

| 1158638 | 2010-12-04 04:38:00 | Speedy, checked error in google, apparently its to do with bad disks mostly, or old firmware, I cant find a link to the Firmware for my drive though. Porkster, Used a disk cleaner 30 mins ago, result afterwards was the 6th coaster :D |

| 1158640 | 2010-12-04 06:17:00 | i'll have to find something to burn! in the mean time i'll test on the other PC if that fails its either the ISO or the disks! | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1158641 | 2010-12-04 06:24:00 | Double layer is significantly more likely to raise issues regarding the quality of the media. I'm totally @#$% off with single layer, and no way I'm gonna touch DL or Blu Ray till the tech has had a lonnnnnggg time to settle into a reliable mode of manufacture. |

| 1158643 | 2010-12-04 07:18:00 | If this is an HP system, the FW is probably on the HP site. Look under the model of the laptop tried that, the only firmware HP listed that applies to my laptop is for the touch panel at the back of it. I am putting the problem down to ageing hardware atm, the laptop is 3 years old now and is getting on a bit. my desktop seems to be burning nicely and has passed all previous error points Cheers for help and suggestions though. Also, I plan to get a new machine (desktop or laptop) when i'm in Beijing for 3 weeks. I'll custom build something and get a case machined to fit... if I can afford! trying to pay for IR lasers, a car and computing = lots of $$$! |
