hi. ive had my plextor 24-/10/40 for about 2 years now. its just started to go wrong. I start to burn a CD (data and audio) and it gets about 2% done before it says 'Power Calibration Failed' and then the burn process fails :( anyone got ideas what this could be? is it the writer or the software? I use NERO 5.5.7.2

Any help appreciated

Matt :(

power calibration is usually media based - so try a different type - ive got 2 plextors and they r usually very picky and sometimes wont even write to media ive used for ages

ok, but thing is ive been using this media for about a year now and have never had any problems in the past... also i burnt a cd on this media last night and it works fine :(

So what, you've either ran into a bad batch or they have deteriorated.

The next most common thing is a dirty lens, although my money is on the first one unless your burner is dying.

yep... seems like a bad batch, cos its still burning silvers. thanks for your help! :)

Matt

Good to know! Thanks!
