    my 1520 has a TSSTCorp L632 D dvd burner. earlier it used to take an hour to burn my DVDs but they used to come out well. after updating my firmware and reinstalling the drivers it takes 15 min to burn a dvd but thay all come out as coasters. what could be the problem. i have blank dvds and cd from sony and moser baer. software used were nero 7 and roxio 9.
    thanks in advance.

    it burns them at a speed of 6x which i think is normal speed for any burner.

    Flash your DVDRW firmware again and roll back drivers. If it doesn't help you need it replaced.
