i have a cheap acer 16x10x40 and it just failed. it doesn't recognise when i put in cds, so i can't do anything with it.
i have looked through many atapi sites and they are never easy to find what you want.

would newer drivers help? i mean, i know i need a new one, i could just do with a temporary solution.
Does your light flash when rebooting or inserting media? I don't know if ASPI is the fix here. Maybe flash your burner with a different or recent firmware update. If you're looking for a new cd burner and I recommend a LiteOn, Asus, Polaroid BurnMAXX or MemorexMAXX.

Of course dont expect miracles to happen hehe. Needless to say, when a LED like that doesnt work (since its such a basic feature), your drive may be toasted. And from personal experience (since i have one), i reccommend the ASUS 522452A burner. But be sure to stay away from NEC, Phillips, LG and some HP burners (heck stay away from all HP burners hehe)

HP burners I hear are made by Sony. I do recommend to stay away from HP DVD burners. "Sony" brand cdrw burners, especially 40/48/52x I do recommend (2 sheep burners)
