G5-Laser power cannot calibrate

Attempt to burn disk failed. the device failed to calibrate the laser power for this media (Memorex CD-R, 48x, 80 minute) this is the first G5 line apple introduced / single 1.8mhz OSX 10.4.7

Support recomends updating firmware to: if you have Mac OS X v10.4.3 or later installed, use the PMG5FirmwareUpdate10.4.pkg. I can't seem to find this updater on the support site.

Is it time to purchase a new burner??

Generally, those updates should appear in Software Update.

One thing I would recommend is to try a different brand of media. Memorex is very poor quality media, so try another brand such as Verbatim or Maxell.
