Dead Burner?

I have an AOpen DUW1608/ARR burner. In the past few months, it's had a few problems burning discs, and yesterday it stopped reading discs. When you put a disc in, the light flashes and the disc spins around inside. I've tried DVDs, CDs, and DVD-Rs. I've tried 3 different firmwares, uninstalling the drive, and moving the drive to its own channel. I also tried booting from a bootable CD, but the computer would not boot with the cd in the drive, it just hung trying to read the disc. I can't think of anything else to try; do you have any suggestions, or should we just call this one dead?
 
Yup, it's toast. I've had this problem before in which I would place a blank disk in and the whole thing froze up. Good news is, burners are less than $35 shipped, plus now you can get a better one than you had before :D
