CD Error - Power Calibration Error
I have a Sony PCG-FX109k with a "MATSH1TA UJDA710" DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive when I try to write to a CD-R or CD-RW using Easy CD Creator 4 (Data CD) function I get the following Error.
CD Error - Power Calibration Error
If I use Direct CD function I get an unknown error (Ox17)
If anyone has seen this problem before please let us know how you fixed it? I have already reinstalled Easy CD creator and restored the original driver and tried different makes of CD-R disks
Thanks in Advance

For you.... Not BHF?? Come on now I have enough trouble fathoming out all this without you making me even more confus-ed.....
My point was that Nero seems to be one of the few cd writting packages where the developers actually thought reporting accurate error messages & conditions was a good idea....WTF good is this message 'If I use Direct CD function I get an unknown error (Ox17)'.... very helpful I think not!
Without some meaningful error it's gonna be hard to diagnose, neither of the packages BHF mentioned are renowned for their accutrate fault diagnosis.
You can calibration errors reporting with a range of circumstances from device mis-recognition to a faulty aspi layer, IMHO Nero is the best bet to get a sensible error condition reported back....
& edit....
Noo's advice is still good, the kind of heating I'm talking about is of the laser, not the entire unit! So if it is that hot cool it, though I'd have thought you'd be reporting slightly different symptoms like the unit failing to write after x many minutes, I forget that folk often have far too many devices squeezed into little tiny boxex...
CD Error - Power Calibration Error
I have updated CD Creator 4.02 to 4.05 however this did not solve the problem or give me any additional information about the error.
I also downloaded a copy of Ahead NERO and it basically gives me the same message with a lot more detail (as suggested by Confue-ed) however I don't understand most of it.
Its my turn to be :confused:
It must be a hardware problem I'll have it checked out
Thanks for all the help
