did i just broke my Cd burner?

[Sephirot]

OK here goes... Stupid me, i was trying to overburn a CD-R/80 about 5 minutes... I really wanted to get this vid on 1 cd, so i thought i'd give it a try...

But at 99% nero gave an error "Burn process failed" .. My burner didn't make strage noises or something, sounded just normal. So the tray opened, i closed it again to see whether it was readable or not... But he didn't like it, made strange noise. So i took the CD out, and placed it in my DVD-ROM, which also didn't like it. Ok, no problem, just lost a CD recordable, no biggie i thought.

But now it appears that my CD burner is fucked up after all, it won't read any disc anymore, the LED just keeps flashing on and off all the time. I can still open the drive, no problem, and it does not make strange noises but clearly it's disfunctional.

Ik know it was a stupid thing to do, but it was my first time trying to overburn.. just wanted to give it a try...

What i want to know: Is there anything i can still try to fix my drive or should i go buy a new one?

Thanks

BTW: it's an AOPEN CD-RW CRW4850

Did you call the company yet? And did you reinstall it?

Even if I've seen warnings that enabling overburn might damage the drive, I've actually never heard anyone experiencing any irreversible problems, beyond a scraped CD-R.
Have you swiched your computer off and rebooted?
Sometimes the ASPI layer gets really f*cked up by errors...
