I have an LG multiformat DVD writer (HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-4082B). However, whenever I try to burn a DVD, it will not accept the blank DVD. I insert the disc and close the tray, and the indicator light will flash for a few seconds, stop, start flashing again and then spit the disc out. This only happens with currently blank discs. I have tried several DVDs that I burned with the drive before this started to happen, and it reads them fine. It also burns CDs fine, and reads DVD movies fine.

The discs I burned before this started to happen, and the current discs that the drive continues to spit back all come from the same spindle of DVDRs, and i've tried a few from random places within the spindle but the same problem keeps reoccurring every time.

I've updated to the latest firmware version, but the problem still keeps happening. I've tried using several ISO programs for burning the DVDs, as well as the bundled Nero 6.0, but still no luck. No matter what I do, the drive still spits back blank DVDs.

Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance,
