    Does my CD-RW drive possibly have faulty capacitors?

    BTW, does a CD drive even have any capacitors? Anyway, I have been getting the following symptoms with my CD-RW drive:

    It basically only works like a CD-ROM drive now!!! :evil:

    I will always get an error message during the burning process, no matter if I'm using Nero or the CD burning software that comes with Windows XP.

    Under Nero, I usually get an error message about a focus error or a cannot perform fixiation error.

    Under the Windows XP CD burning wizard, Windows XP ALWAYS bitches at me, with the message stating that it cannot complete.

    Lately, ALWAYS major errors. :evil:

    BTW, I installed everything properly and even made sure the ASPI layer was installed. Inserting a blank CD, at least sometimes will cause Windows to lock up.

    Also, Windows at least randomly will basically say that the CD I inserted is a CD-ROM!!! :evil:

    you could look for bulging caps but i doubt that is the problem.
    a bad laser or fouled optics is much more likely.esp if you smoke around it.

      No. I don't smoke. Never have, never will. The symptoms just started occuring two springs ago.
