Although this would be more expensive than a generic DWU54A (if you can buy them this way) it will avoid having to change the matching bezel/ drawer front for your laptop. It may be simple but it probably isn't.<BR /><BR />William<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 09 Nov 2004 11:34:32 GMT William 2004-11-09T11:34:32Z Will a new drive (DWU54A) work? https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/will-a-new-drive-dwu54a-work/m-p/119147#M121552 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi, to all Vaio users out there.<BR /><BR />I have a PCG-GRT996VP with a DWU54A DVD drive, which sometimes does not work <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sonylatvija.com/html/@28BE23B0C20952FC3409403FD1AA84A7/images/smilies/056.png" alt=":cry:" title=":cry:" /> . So, after a long "Sony support story", I´m thinking of buying a new one. Would a new one work in my Vaio (without any registration or so)? Maybe somebody knows... <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sonylatvija.com/html/@13A2E6A3774A8B47B4EC6F04089539E1/images/smilies/063.png" alt=":thinking:" title=":thinking:" /><BR /><BR />Best regards<BR /><BR />KlapsKali<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 09 Nov 2004 10:15:10 GMT https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/will-a-new-drive-dwu54a-work/m-p/119147#M121552 KlapsKali 2004-11-09T10:15:10Z Re: Will a new drive (DWU54A) work? https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/will-a-new-drive-dwu54a-work/m-p/119149#M121553 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Assuming the fault lies with your existing drive then the replacement one should just go straight in.<BR /><BR />I would suggest that you purchase the replacement from Sony as a part for your computer.
