    Sorry my mind reading skills aren't what they used to be. Perhaps more info will help us to provide the answer you seek.

    -edit-

    Does the light come on? Will it read a cd or dvd? What messages do you get when you try and burn a dvd? Have you tried a different dvd media brand? Does your computer recognise the dvd player? Is ATA/UDMA on or off? Is DMA enabled? Have you tried new ASPI drivers? etc.

    Try different media. If it burns successfully, then it was probably crap media to blame.

    Try burning a CD. If a CD works yet a DVD doesn't, then there's every chance that the DVD laser is shot and yes, you'll need to buy a new burner.
    If in doubt, Google it.
