How To Solve “Power Calibration Error”

Posted on 22:22 by Unknown
How To Solve “Power Calibration Error”

The “Power Calibration Error” typically appears when you are attempting to burn a CD or DVD, and the burner fails to write the CD or DVD. The error might also appear as a “Medium Speed Error.”

There are multiple reasons that could cause the error, but the error is most likely to occur because the CD/DVD burner is not able to determine the Optimum Power Calibration rate. The Optimum Power Calibration rate is a test that is run before burning a CD or DVD to determine the optimal laser power needed to write the CD or DVD, and when this is not able to be determined the disk burn fails. The “Power Calibration Error” can also appear for minor reasons that can be easily fixed.



Options for Fixing “Power Calibration Error”

It is very difficult to figure out exactly what caused the “Power Calibration Error.” There are a few possible ways to fix it, so your best option is to try the different fixes until one works for you.

Use the options below to fix the “Power Calibration Error.”

1. A common reason for this error to appear is cheap blank media. Try using different brands of quality blank media to solve the error. Some good brands to use are JVC, Verbatim, and Falcon.
2. It is usually very effective to burn at lower speeds.
3. It is a good idea to check with Sony to find out if there is a firmware upgrade for your CD or DVD.
4. You can also try updating your CD/DVD burning software to the most recent version.
5. You can try cleaning the disk drive. Make sure there are no dust particles or bits of paper.
6. Iftheoptionsabovedonotwork, thenyoucandisableImageMasteringApplicationsProgrammingInterface (IMAPI)Service. ThisservicemanagesCDandDVDrecordings. TodisableIMAPIservice, followthesesteps:

a. Launch the Control Panel, click on Administrative Tools, then click on Services.

b. Browse for “IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service.” Once you find it, right-click on it and select Properties.

c. Change the Startup Type to Disabled.

d. Click on Apply and then Reboot.

7. If none of the above options work for you, then it is most likely a hardware problem and not a software problem. At this point, it is a good idea to get your burner laser lens cleaned professionally.
8. If every option fails, then the driver’s laser probably died and it will need to be replaced.
