| Hi everyone, I have a GSA 2164D LG burner, which has worked fine with Nero burningTDK DVD-R since I bought it about 9 months ago. Recently I bought some DVD+R by mistake and had lots of problems with them, so I switched back to DVD-R, but with no improvement, and now the burner won't burn any DVDs successfully, and won't read most DVDs. Is there anything I can do to find out what the problem is and how to fix it? |

| uninstall LG burner software and reinstall--same with Nero burn software..LG burners are pretty solid--but depending on usage during the 9 months it may be done........these guys just don't last forever.... |
| There is a new firmware for your drive also you might want to try to as these resolve DVD Media issues. http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=2225

| you may also want to check that DMA is enabled for your drive. it's possible that windows turned off DMA in response to the increased errors with the +R media. you have to turn this back on manually. the instructions are easily found via a forum search (don't have a link handy atm)
