"not so distant past" does not mean anything. The laser can be worn out,
mechanics become dusty, etc.pp.
Stupid question: a BenQ device, DW1640? Becuse my BenQ is dieing with
similar symptoms, first it began not to detect disks, then it started
writting incorrectly (missing tracks visible with eyes on the surface),
now it seems to burn again but with such OPC errors and some side
effects.

Clear thing, it resists to assist you on replacing the True Debian ;-)

Yes, your recorder does not want to do OPC anymore. Can be a media
problem, or a hardware problem. Or both. Try adding "-force" but expect
reduced burning quality or reduced speed, or both.
