did it work before? have you made any software changes or anything to your PC? Did you try reinstalling the drivers and the software? If you have and that hasn't worked I would say that it is a hardware failure.

I'd say that's pretty good evidence that it's broken. If you replace it with a new one, and it works, that proves it. Fortunately, CD burners are not expensive these days.

buy a new one they are generally unfixable - even if it did start working again you would loose confidence in it, plus, it would probably burn dud cd's
