Superdrive automatically ejects blank DVD disc

I have a Superdrive that has started to automatically reject blank DVDs. I've tried the basic troubleshooting steps I've found online without success. Any thoughts/suggestions welcome. I'm running iOS 10.15.7 on my iMac.

Thanks in advance.

Is that an Internal or USB SuperDrive?

What are you burning on blank DVDs?


Not sure what you gleaned from the on-line troubleshooting steps, but I would try

  1. a different brand of blank DVD's
  2. a dry DVD/CD cleaning disc
  3. an aftermarket disc drive


If you are using DVDs for backups or whatever, then I recommend getting a better quality USB external disc drive,

Or optionally, move away from DVD's and use FlashDrives for sharing and an External Hard Drive for backups.
