I've just replaced my dead UJ-816-C with a UJ-875S superdrive. The drive is reading DVDs fine, but will not read CDs of any type. Oddly enough it will accept a blank CDR and burn to it. However, it rejects blank DVD-R media. I get the typical sounds of it trying to read and then it ejects the disc. I have gone though all the typical system resets (PRAM, caches, etc.) with no difference resulting. Likewise, I have tried the firmware DATs posted on rpc1.org for this drive. Any other ideas?
Here are the details from the system profiler:
