Dead Burner?
I have an AOpen DUW1608/ARR burner. In the past few months, it's had a few problems burning discs, and yesterday it stopped reading discs. When you put a disc in, the light flashes and the disc spins around inside. I've tried DVDs, CDs, and DVD-Rs. I've tried 3 different firmwares, uninstalling the drive, and moving the drive to its own channel. I can't think of anything else to try; do you have any suggestions, or should we just call this one dead?

EDIT: One last thing, I tried booting from a bootable CD, but the computer would not boot with the cd in the drive, it just hung trying to read the disc.

It sounds like a bad lens to me, I don't think there's anything else you can do.

Are you sure the lens isn't dirty? Maybe a cleaning CD will fix it.

Meh... I lose sight of stuff like that all the time. Speaking of which, where'd that CD go?

EDIT: found it.

New burners tend to do that. I think it is a flaw in how they are manufactured
