I didn’t have a cleaning kit and I wanted to see what caused the problem, so I went a step further and took my MacBook Pro apart. It happened quite suddenly, so I suspected that the drive was broken until I read the many successful reports of cleaning the lens. My drive started refusing to burn CDRs and DVDRs, and it even had problems reading burned discs. Here’s another lens cleaning success story. I have burnt quite a few CD with no problem at all. I did as instructed and WOW my dvd burner was functional. I went to shop purchased Philips CD Cleaner which had two brushed on it. On 12 months my burner finally gave up and now it was not burning any type of CD/DVD. I concluded that it may be defective cds but when I used same cd on my external writer they burn fine. I continue to face error on some cds while some burn fine. Some were blaming to cheap CDs while others recommended to repair permissions or re-install OS.

I google the error and was surprised to see so many users are having this error. Toast reported sense key = MEDIUM ERROR and eject CD.
