Sony VAIO PCG-F610 550mhz Laptop...
CDROM drive was just working 10 minutes ago, I removed a CD, now it won't read a thing. Tried it in DOS too.
Should I just take it in for service? This is like the 3rd time I've had to service this thing.. :mad: :mad: :mad:
Not uncommon for Sony models. I support Sony desktop and laptops here at work. I see customers that have their CD-ROMs serviced 3 or 4 times within 6 months..

Hmm, have you ever seen the fans crap out on you on the laptops? At least that's what happened to mine...
Thanks, since this is common, I'll take it in, glad I got the extended warranty! :eek:

Not so much fans. 2 most pieces I see fail on the Sony units would be the CD-ROM and the MLB. Every time I see a Sony I can guarantee it's either a MLB issue or CD-ROM issue.
What's MLB? Do you mean MB?

Yeah, MB and MLB same thing, just for notes here I use MLB so I'm just used to typing it that a way.
Geese, you are having a time with that Sony, eh? You'll need that Extended warranty...

Yes, it's giving me pure hell. You probably haven't heard about the problems with the Hitachi hard drive in there.
Never buying another Sony again-- Toshiba, Apple, or Dell will be considerations for my next laptop (whenever that is)

Go to the forum index, http://forums.windrivers.com and choose either the forum for your operating system or the laptop forum or the CD forum - then click the new thread button and describe your problem briefly in the title - eg powerdvd unknown problem and then list what operating system, machine, updates, exact errors and what you have tried so far... oh and welcome to windrivers.
He-he-he I see that Jungleman is still 'admin' !
(btw would it not have been simpler to split this out & put it in the cd forum ? I would've when I first saw it, but I lack the admin powers .. maybe I should rename myself as JM, & then I would ? :D)
I found that people got lost if I moved their threads around... despite redirects. Let atlas read his replies and then post in an appropriate forum.
Fair comment then :thumbs: , I was just confus-ed about the 'why' of matters ;) - but I think you (as ever) are right about it creating as much confus-ed-ness as it fixes :).Quote:
