Hi all.

I own a CDRW5000 cd recorder. Lately, it's been acting up, and I'm wondering
if it is something that can be repaired at reasonable cost.

The problem is that it will suddenly stop recording and display a message
that the cdr is full, when only 5, 10, or 15 minutes of music has been
actually recorded to the blank cdr. This seems to happen more and more often
(maybe 3 out of every 10 disks). I've used different brands of media, and
the problem happens with all types. Although the machine is getting
increasingly tempermental about what brand it will successfully opc. Even
some disks that I recorded on it half a year ago can't be OPCed now.

Have you heard of this problem from other CDRW5000 owners? Is this likely a
failing laser assembly (it has quite a few hours on it)? And most
importantly, is this something that could be repaired at a reasonable cost?
Thanks for your replys.
