Laser burn, looks like complete or partial circular scratches around your disc, also known as “the ring of death”. This occurs to discs when the games console has been moved whilst playing, from an upright to a horizontal position or vice versa or simply knocked against or the wires may have been just tripped upon. Discs are then impaired by a ring of laser burn, which is a circular scratch into the disc. Some home remedies may help with only very light scratches on some discs but professional disc repair services is usually rerquired to restore disc laser burn damage back to "As Good As New Condition".

Laser burn is particularly nasty so common household disc cleaners won't do the job. GAME stores usually have an industrial strength disk cleaner which only costs £3 to repair discs. There is no guarantee any amount of disc repair will work, as laser burn can be fatal on discs, but this is your best bet. To avoid laser burn, lay your console flat (not standing up) and make sure its on a level and sturdy surface. Any vibration through the console can cause the laser to over-focus, and then you'll get burn.

See if you can find this in a local store or online, as long as the ring isnt too deep it does a pretty good job. I have repaired 80% of disc rings with this and highly recommend giving it a try if you can source some.
Hope this helps.

All of a sudden i can't burn any DVD with my DELL 1510 laptop, but i can read DVD's.I get error message with nero "fixation error" and "power calibration error".I'v tried re installing...

Nero's "Fixation Error" means the laser has lost power and cannot "Fix" or burn data to the disk anymore.
Replace the drive. Check ebay for a good price.
Hope this will help.

I keep having failed burn sessions it says "Power Calibration error" what and how can I fix that

Their could be several possible reasons and solutions for the above error, basically what is happening is for some reason the CD/DVD burning software is unable to determine the Optimum Power Calibration rate (a small pre-burn test to determine optimal laser power for writing), resulting a disk burn failure. There is no easy way to pinpoint the exact reason, so try all the possible fixes from top to bottom (easy to hard) and see what works:
Try using different brands of quality blank media, most common reason for such error's is cheap blank media.
Try burning at lower speeds (Highly effective).
If this fails try a different burning software

What can I use to fix a laser burn on xbox 360 disc? I have a laser burn on my MW2 because I accidently knocked the console, does anyone know of anything that can fix the disk at home? I have heard about...

dont use either of those, they'll wear down the disc and scratch it more... i recommend a disc-doctor.... (basically a drive that polishes disc layers down to make the surface of the disc even with the scratch) you can buy one for around 50$ or go to gamestop and service the disc for around 5$

CAN AND CANT BURN TO DISC

This probably means your drive is nearing death. There are less chip level service stations. It is better to go for a new one.

Burning error all the time

the reason why it went from burning everything to barely burning and now not burning is because the laser in your dvd drive is bad. It takes alot of power from the laser to burn dvd's and it only has so many hours that it can burn before it goes completely. Replacing the drive is the way to solve the problem. If you machine is under warranty then getting it replaced by sony shouldn't be a problem. If its out of warranty then getting one off of ebay should be pretty cheap.

Sony DVD RECORDER/PLAY WON'T PLAY

Dvd players are only made to last a couple of years(the laser goes bad).If you play scratched disc's it won't last that long.Hopefully you didn't pay alot for the player,and if you did then you can get the laser repaired but its expensive.I usually wait until the things go on sale and pick one up for 20 or 30 dollars.When the laser burns out after repeated use I just buy a new one because fixing them is more expensive and unless you want to continue having problems its easier to buy new.These guys that put alot of money in these units are just wasting their money.
