NEC 3550A cant burn to verbatim DL media!

[d94]

wierdest thing, memorex work fine..but it wont read the "good" verbatims.
i just updated to the latest firmware (1.6) and it still doesnt work!
do i need to buy a new burner or is there a way to correct this, as it seems everyone else with this drive doesnt have any problems!

*edit*!!!! after this update its not even burning memorex's!

Ohman, looks like the drive is fubared. I had that same exact issue with a couple of liteOn's. I had no choice but to replace the drives. Flashing firmwares and cleaning did'nt fix it
