I had the same thing happen to me. First the memorex started not working so I started using some cheap store brand ones. But after awhile nothing worked anymore.
It turns out that I had dust buildup on my drive lens, after a good cleaning it ran everything fine, even the old memorex. I don't know if those CD cleaner kits you see in the store work or not, I had taken mine apart thinking it was the drive mechanism and saw all the dust. I just cleaned it with a q-tip and put everything back like it was.

Now it works like a charm. If only it wasn't a 4x4x20 :-(
