Lite-On 812S Burning Errors

[thenarcissist73]

Well, i got my 812s about 4 months ago, and the first media i got for it was Yi Jhan, well needless to say thats really bad media, and after burning them they would never read again, i had 100% failure rate. Now after that i picked up some RITEKG04's which i have yet to burn one successfully without errors on the disk, Nero Verify never passes, and the Kprobe results are really poor.

RITEKG04

Now after that i tried one disk from a kid on my floor, it was GSC002 media, and well Kprobe never even finished, and was around 60,000 read errors when i finally stopped it.

After that i went and bought some PRODISCF01 media which i burned, and this is my result. Nero verify failed but it seems alot better than the RITEKG04's, im not sure why nero verify failed because KProbe says 0 read errors.

PRODISCF01

Now granted those arent great results either, and i burned that @ 4x not 8x like the disks say they can go to, actually everything ive burned has been @ 4x or 2x and none have helped.

Do i have a bad drive? Should I RMA my drive because it seems like i cant ever get a good burn no matter what media i am using.

updating firmware...???

I had a LO 4x (forgot model)....it could not successfully burn for certain brand, but after I updated the firmware, it has been working flawlessly since

I have the same drive and so far it's been great. I've never used anything but the cheapest disks I could find, there is no way I could'nt even tell you the brand of any of them. Is there anyone around that would let you swap another drive into your pc and try it? If you could do that it would tell you for sure the drive is the problem. Or just go ahead and rma it..... if you haven't burned a good disks in 4 months then you surely aren't in any hurry to get it working

hahaha true, i thought i was burning good disks untill i went back and notice none of the like 20 DVD's i had burned, worked correctly. Drive works great for reading and burning CD-R's though.
