Hi all,
I have a Compaq Presario 2500 laptop. It came with a SONY DVD+RW DW-P50A drive. I have been using it from last 18months and I have written n number of cd's and dvd+r/rw's without any problem.
From couple of days when i was trying to write a CD it was giving me "Could not perform Fixation" error and was failing to write the CD.
When I start to the burn the CD, initially Power-Burn is activated, then it completes Caching of files. After that Burn process started at 16x. It goes to 5% then after a minute I get the error message "Could not perform Fixation". After that it gives me a message saying Burn process failed.
The CD on the which it failed to write, after the process is still like a blank new CD. I.e., burn of CD has not been started at all.
In the log I also read a line which says "Power calibration error". Is this the real error?
I have tried with different media but no result.
Can anyone of you please tell me what to do?
Is my drive gone? Is it a h/w problem or s/w problem?
Can it be repaired?
If yes, will it be repaired by Sony service center or Compaq server center?
FYI, My laptop warranty is over. If I renew my laptop warranty will the problem be covered in that?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks and Regards,
Vamsi.
