Troubleshooting LG Blu-ray (internal) Writer Problems

Troubleshooting LG Blu-ray (internal) Writer Problems Scenario 1: Windows 10 bare-metal machine Result: 3 pieces of hp DVD-R have failed recording (wasted SGD$1.77) Thinking: Possible batch problem with hp DVD-R optical media. Scenario 2: Windows 10 bare-metal machine Result: 1 piece of TDK DVD-R has failed recording (wasted SGD$1.00) Thinking: Unlikely to be batch problem with hp DVD-R media. Possible Windows 10 corruption leading to DVD recording failure. Scenario 3: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS k3b Result: 1 piece of TDK DVD-R has failed recording (wasted SGD$1.00) Thinking: Windows 10 corruption leading to DVD recording failure is UNLIKELY. Conclusion: LG Blu-ray writer has failed/malfunctioned. Remedial solution: Bought Asus DVD writer (internal) (model: ASUS DRW-24D5MT) for SGD$25 on 5 Feb 2020 Wednesday. Unable to afford buying another Blu-ray writer (internal) because the price is too high (between SGD$140 to SGD$150). Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming liv...
