Theres a Big Problem with Asus Lightscribe DVD-RW

I bought a Asus DRW-1814BL.. I use EAC to rip udio CDs.. bt EAC couldnt rip any Audio CDs using my Asus Driver..

Then I burnt a ightscribe DVD.. after that it completely stopped reading or writing any CDs..I updated the firmware..bt still my Asus wont even recognize any CDs..

I thought it might be a defect in this drive only..bt after searching the asus forum I found out that its a diffect in the entire Lightscribe range..

specially in the 1814 series.... If u burn a Lightscribe DVD theres a big chance that your driver will burn out..

One such complain in the Asus Forum
Another such complain in the Asus Forum

Thread on Asus knowing about the defect & doing absolutely nothing about it

Bartlys..

seems its not a problem with the shop who sells it..rather its a defect of the entire litescribe range...

Thinking of changing this shitpile 4 a Sony...

Whats the point of paying extra & buying a litscribe drive if it craps out on you on the very first time u burn a LS disk ?
& whats the point of buying a DVD-RW if it refuses to read CDs ?? how the hell am I suppose to install even Windows XP with this crap now ?

shit shit shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit...asus used to be so good in the past
