I have an LG 4167B DVD burner that won't recognize D/L's.

According to the spec's it is DL capable and when I run DVD InfoPro it confirms that it is DL capable.

It has the latest firmware - at least that I can find.

I have tried two kinds of discs, Memorex and Verbatim - no luck.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

the Verbatim disks should have been recognized as it is the most universal/compatible brand out there with Taiyo Yuden! Does it record onto the Verbatim disks? have you tried? sometimes a disk isn't recognized until it's burned! try that.

Neither the Verbatims or the Memorex are recognized - ir when you try and burn a DL it's as if there is no disc in the burner - the burner does nothing.

Edited to say O updated the firmware as mentionned above but there was no change.

I called LG support who told me it was more than likely that I had a 40 pin connector cable and I would need an 80. They said they didn't used to ship with 80 pin cables - why offer a DL capable drive and not ship with the cable that allows you to actually utilize that capacity?
