Hi there, i have a Samsung ts-h552b cd/dvd writer which worked fine for a couple of months. I was using nero 6 and was burning some cd-r s. When i got to the 4th cd to be burnt it decided it could not recognise the blank cd-r.

Since then it won't recognise any cd-r whether it be blank or with data on it, however the device does recognise audio cds.

Also data on dvds that i previously burnt before it stopped working properly can still be read and viewed.

I have uninstalled the device and let wiondows find it again. I tried firmware update and i tried opening up and reconnecting the cables. All to no avail.

Any ideas or has the machine just packed up?

Cheers
