I had a return of a defective DVD writer, an LG GSA-H42N. It had a standard closed LD with a window. I put it in a Aixiz holder with a glass lens and the resulting beam was horrible - a line with 2 dots as can be seen in the rather poor photo. I tried a different lens, cleaned the LD window with alcohol on a Qtip, it's not dirt, it's not the lens. This DVD drive would not read or write DVDs - I'm thinking the LD is defective. Anyone run into this? It burns tape and black plastic when run at 225mA, just has an ugly beam!
