Unable to burn to CDs with Brasero or K3b (cdrecord and cdrao(?)) both fail. What causes this?

I cannot burn any CDs (first time I've tried since upgrading to 11.10 to my memory). The media I'm using are 56x capable CD-Rs, and I'm using the same DVDrw/Bluray drive that came with my HP laptop (dv7 1020us).

Here is the output k3b (I lost the brasero output somehow):

Using cdrecord as the backend, I get an error (254), and it claims I may need to change the permissions (which I tried). That doesn't seem to work, and all the Google searching I've done seems useless.

I recall something about power calibration failing - but I was on my way to bed, and later to church, when I was trying to burn the CD - so I did not have the time to record what it was.

I have tried:

sudo chmod 4755 /usr/bin/wodim - no go.

BTW - the drive can read CDs just fine, though it takes forever to show what's on them (the laptop is a wee bit old (almost 4 years!), and I've kept upgrading since 8.10 or 8.04, so I think that might be the problem with the speed).

Is there a way around these errors? Or is this a hardware issue? If I need to add more debugging info, let me know.

I tried this on another system with 11.10 (another laptop) and it's fine...

(I'm experienced enough so you can ask me to do dmesg and all the jazz :D).

For now, I am unable to check up on the status of this issue, but it seems the drive is working fine for the most part. I will probably update if anything changes (since I'm on 12.04 now).

UPDATE:

Turns out the drive laser is shot :).
