Hey guys.....while writing some stuff to DVD, the process failed and the following message showed up- 'Writing error: (3) error writing data to disc. a flaw exists in the power calibration area (1048). Error sense data: SENSE KEY:3ASC:73ASCQ:3'.Of course me being from a nontechnical background, i couldn't make anything of d message.
So guys any help from your side would be appreciated. i would like to know if the problem is minor or my writer is gone permanently. and if its permanent whether this is covered under the warranty..thanks
Didn't know if this is the right place to post this. If not so, my apologies..

Error : Writing Error: (3) Error occurred writing data to disc. A flaw exists in the Power calibration area (1048). Error Sense Data: SENSE KEY: 3 ASC: 73 ASCQ: 3

Cause : This error is caused by a CD Burner that is going bad or the most common cause is a Bad CD-R Blank

Solution: Try a new CD Blank or a different brand
