I had a 6020i and it, too started missing discs. Taking it apart and cleaning the lens with an alcohol swab seemed to cure it but the problem returned after a few weeks. Taking at apart agin cured it again for a few weeks. In the end, I came to the conclusion that something was wearing out of alignment inside as the time it stayed working became shorter and shorter. In the end, I replaced it with a Yamaha 4260 and love it to death. > -----Original Message----- > From: Mick Fitzpatrick [SMTP:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Tuesday, August 04, 1998 12:55 AM > Subject: Problems with HP4020i CD Wrtiter > > Hello > > I have a HP4020i CD writer and it has been superb, until now!.
