yeah it blinks and stuff and it turns but it doesnt read it
I think that is your best option, right now burners are really cheap and instead of troubling yourself with a damaged burner, buy a brand new that you are sure it will work. Although make sure your burner is really not working, because right know it may be working but you may have missed a configuration or have a software conflict, so before you go and buy a new one make sure that your computer is not the problem.

Agreed! I mucked around trying to get my old DVD writer to work for several months. Got it to work once, came back several weeks later and nothing. Went out and bought a new one last weekend and have been happy ever since.
