Yes I have a 4 year LG burner working fine... its not the old drives that are a problem... its anything 24X or faster that breaks to crap. I've personally lost two 48x24 LG burners hehe.
How long did they last, and what exactly happened to them?
The site I use for buying most of my PC stuff is called www.redstore.com, could you recommend any from this link below bearing in mind I can't stretch to more than £80.
