[CD - R] Energiekalibierungsfehler

[Ascot Crane]

Moin Leute, ich
habe ein sehr komisches Problem. Seit dem ich versucht habe eine CD-RW zu löschen, kann ich keine CDs mehr brennen. Während des Löschvorgangs gab es eine Fehlermeldung, welche mich auf einen Energiekalibrierungsfehler aufmerksam machte. Ich hab mir nix dabei gedacht und es dann halt gelassen die RW zu löschen. Jetzt wollte ich gestern ein paar Daten für die Schule auf eine CD-R brennen und musste feststellen ,dass auch nach 6 verbrannten Rohlingen (darunter drei verschiedene Marken: Aldi - Lidl und Fujitsu Siemens Rohlinge) immer wieder dieser dumme Energiekalibierungsfehler auftaucht. Die CD wird abgebrochen und es scheint sich nicht zu ändern. Jetzt wurde mir von einem Freund gesagt, ich sollte mal ein Firmware Update machen, aber ich weiß nicht wie das geht.

Also bei weiteren Fragen an mich, einfach posten, ich bin mit meinem Latein am Ende, aber vielleicht könnt ihr mir helfen.

System:

Win XP Pro
Nero 6.0.0.9
Brenner LG GCE-8320B

[comp.publish.cdrom] CD-Recordable FAQ, Part 3/4

Subject: [4-13] I\'m getting complaints about power calibration
(2002/12/29)

The optical power output range of the laser in a low-speed CD-R is between
4 and 8 milliwatts. (By comparison, the read laser runs at about 0.5mW.)
High-speed recorders and CD-RW devices use a greater range. At the top
end of the scale are DVD-R recorders, which output around 100mW for 4x
recording and 200mW for 16X recording. CD-R and CD-RW discs have a section
outside the standard recording area called the Power Calibration Area (PCA)
that is used to adjust the laser for the brand of media you\'re using and
the speed at which you\'re recording.

Power calibration errors indicate that the drive is having trouble
calibrating the power setting. The most common cause is incompatibility
with the media you\'re using -- if you just switched to a new brand or
batch of media, this is a likely culprit -- but it can also be caused by
a dirty lens or a dying recorder.

If you\'re seeing "power calibration area full", it means the recorder
ran out of space in the PCA area. There are 99 regions in the PCA area.
After 99 attempts to calibrate the power level, there won\'t be any
places left, and the recorder will report an error.

Try a few different kinds of media to see if the problem is an
incompatibility between your recorder and the discs you\'re using. If that
doesn\'t make a difference, there are a couple of things you can do to
mitigate the problem. First, you can try recording at a slower speed.
The recorder will use a different "write strategy", which usually means a
lower power level. Second, if you\'re storing the discs in a cold place,
you may want to try heating them up to slightly above room temperature
(placing them near a heating vent works). One user found that this helped.

If all else fails, and the drive is still in warranty, you should have
the drive checked by a repair facility. If it\'s out of warranty, or
there\'s no easy way to have it checked out, you can try cleaning it.
See section (3-30).

Some versions of the firmware for the Philips CDD2000 (and HP 4020i) will
report a power calibration error if you try to do a 1x write after a 4x
read.

It\'s also good to verify, if your CD recorder is an internal unit, that
your power supply has enough capacity to run everything. Recent PCs
systems should have a 300W or better power supply.

One user found that his problems went away when he created an image file
with Easy CD Creator, quit out of the program, restarted it, and then
recorded from the image at a moderate speed. (Doesn\'t make much sense,
but if it works, use it.)

Danke ich hab mir vorhin mal teure Rohlinge von Verbatim gekauft. Mit denen gings komischer Weise ohne Probleme, na ja dann eben Ade Aldi Rohlinge.
