DVD-RW doesn't work

[Giele]

Hi Everyone ,

I recently bought a VGN-A317M vaio notebook (03-30-05) but since a few days the disc drive doesn't read anything , it also doesn't burn anything ! I did a firmwire update for the drive PFS3-2 but that didn't make any difrence. I also reinstalled the burnsoftware , installed new software like alcohol 120% en MakeIso, etc..)
But also nothing!
I was thinking to reinstall the wholesystem but the drive doesn't read the recorvery dvd-r which I burned with this drive...

Does anyone knows what the problem can be?
If I let it repair , will it take longer than 2 weeks? Because i'm goinging on vacation , and really need the notebook... Or is it possible to send them the dvd-rw (dw-d56a) only and not the whole notebook?

Thanks for the reply's

The site still has problems Giele.
The poster of the solution that I mentioned was Senor Felt but he hasn¿t logged in since 4 July. No doubt he would be able to help you with the firmware.
This is a link to the original thread.

Isuggest that you keep trying the site over the next few days.
Good luck.
