Hey all, to get straight to the point:

I purchased a brand new Lite-ON SOHW-1673S DVD Rewriter about 2 weeks back and everything was able to burn dvd discs perfectly untill just last night when suddenly blank discs were no longer being detected. Nothing at all has changed since purchase and I'm using the exact same discs and exact same software so I don't see why it would suddenly stop.

Any ideas on what to do?

The Lite-ON site is useless so no help there.
Returning would be a pain as it was bought while staying at uncles who lives far and I sadly don't have the reciept. Don't understand why it would suddenly stop thought with nothing at all changing.

Thank in advance.

I have tried updated firmware / driver and also mkaing the Drive master and checking jumpers and so on.
