this would be interesting to see the outcome of but LG drives are of
particularly low quality. It would be my guess that they are simply dying
from end of life span. It is not unheard of to have cdroms die while in use.
On a side note it would be advisable to stay away from aopen drives also. Of
course this goes without saying that you will want to stay way from any
company that resells these drives also.
