    Hi,

    I have problems to record with Matshita UJ-820S on my unit when using DVD+R or CD-R, but no with DVD-R.
    My computer is a notebook is a Toshiba Satellite A50-110. The media that I always use is TDK or Verbatim. I've got my notebook since one year ago and i never had problems to burn any media until one month ago. Since that, the burning process has no problem with DVD-R but it stops a few seconds after begining when using DVD+R or CD-R. The error message is "power calibration error" (in spanish "Error de calibracion de potencia").

    Is a new firmware the solution? and in that case, where can i get it?

    Perhaps, I must order a new recorder?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I had/have the same problem with the DVD on a Toshiba Satellite which worked fine for a year and then just stopped working. This is what I did:

    I deinstalled Nero.
    I reinstalled Nero.
    I got a message from Nero advising me that XP SP/2 has some kind of new caching technique and that I should download the patches (I had recently upgraded to SP/2).
    I downloaded the 4 patches (for Nero 6) and installed them.

    The drive started working again normally (at least for CD-R, I didn't try with DVD+R).

    However, that was about two months ago and when yesterday I tried to burn some photos onto a CD the problem had returned (which is why I came to this site to look for a fix).

    I haven't had time to reinstall everything again so I can't say yet if it will work twice. It's worth mentioning that I don't much relish having to reinstall Nero every time I want to burn something so if anyone has a permanent fix I would love to hear about it.

    I don't know if SP/2 is the cause of the problem or if it is simply a Nero bug (Nero 6 has never been very reliable in my personal experience) - any ideas?
