before buying a new one, or cleaning it you can try reinstalling it. (remover hardware then add it again)

Firmware update is dated June 2006 which means you burner is old and depending on how many times you used it, it may be bad, had a newer Soney burner and had to do the fimeware update just a couple of months after I had it. Anyway it can't hurt so do the firmware update and let us know, jja
