However, I am no expert so someone who knows more about drives might have some other ideas. Apple power supplies can be dodgy and this has worked for external drives with the same troubles.

Finally, and perhaps the most straightforward suggestion, try a different PSU/Battery. Reset the PRAM (Shut down then reboot holding Command-Option-P-R altogether until you hear the startup noise for the second time). Check your RAM and if there is anything fishy you should replace it. Clean your laser and your drive thoroughly. one that always has for you in the past). So, use a media you know should work (i.e.

the sense code 0x73 0x03 is basically down to 4 variables, the laser, the power to the laser, the thing controlling the power and the media. So what might work for one sense code does not mean it will work for another, even if they are close. However, be careful because, as I pointed out earlier, there are lots of things that can go wrong with media and that is what the sense codes are for. If I restart the machine, I can burn ONE disk. Then when I insert another disk, it'll just keep 'checking media' then spit the disk out. I also have the 'please insert blank disk' occasionally when I KNOW it's a blank disk. There are lots of threads on this topic and people seem to suggest numerous solutions. I've gotten the 'medium write error' and the 'failed to calibrate lazer power' or whatever it is. I am no great expert on the subject and am merely stating what I have so far discovered for myself. This is a VERY common problem with the Matshita drives Apple choose to use and I have come across it regularly myself which is why I have looked into it. Lots of people are suggesting changing the media to rectify the issue but, while this might prove successful because every disk uses different ranges of power, it isn't really solving the problem. That effectively calibrates the drive's laser for the specific media being used and it does this before writing the lead-in. Therefore, every disk manufacturer incorporates a section of the disk that the drive reads before any burning takes place. 0x73, 0x03 is to do with laser power calibration.Д®very disk brand and type uses different power ranges for the laser and it is down to all sorts of reasons (even the dye used on the disk affects it). However, there are lots of things that can go wrong with the media which is what the 'sense code' refers to.

A Medium Error is in reference to the media used (i.e.
