an unsolved problem with LG HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H55N

[rose tamang]

Hi, Guys,
I've a LG HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H55N optical drive called "Super Multi" Brand
Is there anyone out there to help me with my DVD writer. Not burning dvds since I bought on 01 Jan 2008.
The Pros:
1. It reads few digit DVDs.
2. It reads well all sorts of CDs.
3.It burns CDs well.
4. Bios displays the drive as a DVD Writer Drive
5. DMA mode is on.
The Cons:
1. Most of the Digit DVDs (I mean the Digit 2008 DVDs) cannot be read.
2. I use Nero Express Edition 7.0 to write DVDs but the drive doesn't detect blank DVD, inserted before hand and ejects the drive tray apealing for the blank DVD disk to be inserted.
My system configuration:
1. 3.06 GHz Celeron Processor (pinless)
2. 945 Intel Chipset GCCR Motherboard
3. 512 MB DDR 2 RAM
4. SATA HDD 80 GB
5. Windows XP SP 3

did you try firmware upgrade for the burner. If not try it first
Also try someother burning software than nero.

As you said its not burning DVDs since the time you bought it, you should get it replaced.
Ask the vendor where you bought it from.
