It doesnt "see" blank Cds or DVDs.I've tryed many different brands. Everytime i put one inside it makes horrible sounds for about 2-3 mins and then the drive is unusable.It "sees" however CDs/DVDs with data, it takes it a while to, but eventually it reads them.<BR />I ve formatted the Notebook but the problem remains.Do you have any idea what's going on?Am i going to need a new drive?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 19 May 2005 10:39:58 GMT https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/dvd-rw-drive/m-p/134774#M110494 Innerfr 2005-05-19T10:39:58Z Re: DVD RW drive https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/dvd-rw-drive/m-p/134775#M110495 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Have checked VAIO-Link for Firmware updates?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 19 May 2005 10:59:29 GMT https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/dvd-rw-drive/m-p/134775#M110495 seb21__ 2005-05-19T10:59:29Z Re: DVD RW drive https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/dvd-rw-drive/m-p/134776#M110496 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Yes, I already have downloaded the firmware update.

The computer was only 3 months old. After 2-3 weeks of the sprt of problems you describe the drive subsequently packed up. Thankfully the warrenty took care of everything.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 19 May 2005 12:55:41 GMT https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/dvd-rw-drive/m-p/134777#M110497 Kawasaki 2005-05-19T12:55:41Z Re: DVD RW drive https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/dvd-rw-drive/m-p/134779#M110498 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Too many of these drives are dying like this...<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 19 May 2005 17:39:06 GMT https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/dvd-rw-drive/m-p/134779#M110498 kee-lo_ 2005-05-19T17:39:06Z Re: DVD RW drive https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/dvd-rw-drive/m-p/134780#M110499 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.
