Laser broke in mine (stopping my DVD burner reading or writing). But there are hundreds of bits in a CD burner - if any one of them fails, it could stop the whole thing working.

Lots of possibilities:

- old age

- poor construction

- luck of the draw

- power supply

- dirt

- gremlins

- ????

I doubt if any burner can be fixed easily, and with today's prices, you're better off buying a new one.

However;

- test several CDs and then test those same CDs on another machine to verify that the CDs themselves are good,

- try different burning software

- try different makes of CDs - years ago, I found that some CDs just wouldn't work on my drive so I had to switch
