I wasn't sure what forum area to put this in, so I'm putting it in here.

A little while back I bought the Sony 510A DVD burner. I've made countless dvds and its worked flawlessly for a few months. Last week though, it suddenly decided that it no longer wants to burn DVDs. I changed no methods in how I made dvds and both Nero and Uleads software no longer burn successfully in that format. I was burning happly along and then suddenly the problem. I haven't installed anything different or changed the PC at all and am using the same media that I burned successfully on before, I've already made about 12 coasters now. The burner still burns cds no problem, but nothing dvd. It sits on the lead-in part taking a few minutes and eventually fails. Any ideas or suggestions?
