If it doesn't work on the other computer I'd get a new one. A year and a half is about average life expectancy in my experience.

Agree with saltman - Try it in a different computer.
Also, just for checks, take a look at the error log on your computer and see if you've had anything pop up at around the same time as you remember the burner not working.....some program that hits that port up while it's running? Maybe there's a conflict somewhere that's causing it to stop for no reason but not enough to throw up a message on your desktop.
Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Event Viewer>System
Saltman - A year and a half expectancy? You must really beat your equipment to have it go bad in that short a time. I've taken compenents around the world into some pretty harsh conditions and haven't had them regularly break that quickly.
