NEC DVD-RW will not read or write CDs.

Hi.

I have an NEC ND-3540A DVD+RW drive, that recently stopped being able to read or write CDs There is no problem with DVDs. It is currently in a Linux system, but I can’t boot from CDs either which suggests that linux is not the problem.

If I put a CD in it and try to mount it then I get a ‘no media found’ error, and the same if I try to write a CDR.

The drive was flashed with the latest official firmware from NEC a couple of months ago in order to get 16x DVD-R writing to work, but it has read CDs successfully since then. I have never installed any of the unoffical firmwares out there onto it.

Has anyone seen similar problems? Can anyone suggest a solution? Thanks.
