Sounds like your drive is dying. 4 years is a Long time. I never keep ar DVD Writer in service for more than a year, although I have a 1633 as a backup-backup-backup drive. It used to burn at 8x but the max it will do is 6x now.

I'd suggest that you consider buying a new drive.

if you have > 2k burns I would definitely say that your drive is "tired".

I would try to crossflash the drive to: SOHW 1653s http://codeguys.rpc1.org/firmwares.html for firware, http://codeguys.rpc1.org/oc.html for crossflashing info & http://codeguys.rpc1.org/utilities.html for utilities.

Burn On,
Russell
