Hi,

My DVD drive used to work but today i tried inserting a disc and it doesnt read it at all, anyone know how to fix this please? Maybe a firmware update?

Thanks

Hi tman16,

A firmware update is unlikely to resolve this problem, but have you checked the Vaio-Link Support site for any possible updates?

Have you tried various disks – both CD and DVD?

You could try cleaning the laser lens with a proprietary cleaner…..

Edit - If there are any errors reported for the drive in Device Manager then this thread will be of help...
