The DVD burner(LG GSA-4163B) on my kid's PC stopped burning. It will play DVDs and CDs but it will not burn. I have tried CloneDVD, Clone CD, Nero, Pinnacle and Shrink DVD but all stop after 2% and spit out the message that the "DVD/CD quality is bad and to try a different brand". Of course I'm paraphrasing. Knowing that was not the problem, I tried different brands anyway but with no success. I pulled the DVD burner out of the PC and replaced it with a new one from NEC(ND-3540A). Same problem. I changed the 80pin cables. Same problem. Pulled the memory and tested the PC with new ones. Same problem. I switched the drives from slave-master and back again. Same problem. I re-installed the operating system, Windows XP Professional. Same problem. Maybe its the mainboard, I've updated that with the new BIOS. Same problem. The only thing I havn't done is hose the sucker with an Uzi. I consider myself a good tech, maybe not the best but more than average. Before I throw this thing in the Rhein river maybe somebody out there can save my kid's PC from certain death.
