CD/DVD problems on PCG-K115S

[sirrom]

When trying to burn DVD's with Nero, I receive errors: power calibration error.

The cd/dvd fimware was allready updated but I noticed that the installed driver for this device is a Microsoft driver from 2001.

I could NOT find another driver here or anywhere else for the buildin Matshita UJ-820D dvd/cd device. Is there such driver, otther then the MS driver? Its not in the driver package in the driver section.

Or is there another sollution to correct the 'Power Calibration Error?

I Think

power calibration error = your dvd device is broken


Sorry:smileycry:

I think so too...
But off course I like to close out all other options to be sure.

Yes, get the same with my FS115B
Once its out of warranty I am getting rid of the rubbish Matsushite drive and putting in a proper region free unit anyway!

Have you tried a different brand of CD?

Interesting that it seems to be a problem when using Nero?
For me, it would burn CD's but not DVD's (Philips DVD+R) in Nero
But as I said. We buy Sony for quality, else we could buy a Toshiba etc for less pounds, however I have to say I am not very impressed with my Viao and I think when it comes time to change, it will not be Sony who gets my buisness.
I want a multi region player, I use a portable for conferances all over the world, and it only can be used in Europe? madness
Time and time again, the quality of parts is suspect
The super duper DVD burner runs slower than my kids bike
Get you act together Sony, or leave the laptop sector to Dell!

Same here!
For various reasons my next notebook will not be a Sony.
In fact, I will not by any Sony device anymore.
