I hope G-listers might have some ideas on this once-removed topic.
I have a Yamaha CRW4416SX CD burner that I use with my G3 running
OS 9.2.2 International English. The Yamaha shows up as a CD-ROM
drive under Apple System Profiler, and Toast 4.1 recognises the
burner, but the drive itself seems to have stopped recognising
discs. The On/Disc LED on the front panel lights up green when I
insert a disc, but after winking for a while it goes solid orange.
If I try to burn a disc, Toast ejects the CD-R and says "Please
insert a recordable CD!"
I've tried a CD lens cleaner, but I think the burner has to be
functioning for the cleaner to work.
Yeah, unfortunately, when the drives die. This is a common symptom of
a dead drive. The drive is spinning while it's winking, trying to
read the drive, so the cleaner would work, therefore it's not a dirty
lens.
