welcome to the forum

might update the firmware and save a few of those disks, hopefully you didn't buy many


we always advise that people use only verbatim for dual layer

[DJFrEakE]

i have not been able to locate a firmware update for my particular drive... i bought a 3 pack of the verbatims just for testing purposes and a 20 pack of the hp's cost me 34.00 for the 2 of them...

BCIB

boot into safe mode and have drive empty when you update

[DJFrEakE]

ok let me give that whirl and ill post back with my results! thanks chewy arrrrrrrrrhhhhggggggggggggggg

[Chewy]

[DJFrEakE]

[Chewy]

make sure it's not a weak power supply, connect the dvd burner to the power supply with a straight run and nothing sharing power in that line of connectors

test the burner by burning at the fastest speed possible on a single layer disk

do you have the burner slaved to another device, bad practise

same advise as above poster

[DJFrEakE]

i believe the burner is set to cable select...and has dedicated power...individual plugs off the supply

[Chewy]

if it will burn a verbatim or another goog single layer at a faster speed then
power is probably not an issue

pretty sure when burning dual layer the lowest layer is burned first and takes a little more power

[DJFrEakE]

orignally it wouldnt burn the verbatim's all 3 failed

[Chewy]

orignally it wouldnt burn the verbatim's all 3 failed

sounds like power supply or bad burner or

is the computer a dell?


and do you have a single layer disk to test?

[DJFrEakE]

new burner...burns single layer just fine...even burns 8x disks at 16x using nero

[DJFrEakE]

not a dell...custom built pc 650w power supply

[Chewy]

scan one of those 16x burns with cdspeed for disk quality

see blank media forum

even with the original firmware that benq should have burned those verbs unless they were the newest ones and you burned at 8X
