One for reading DVD's and the other for CD's.<BR /><BR />Your drive works fine in respect of DVD's so perhaps the laser for CD's has stopped working.<BR /><BR />In the absence of more knowledgable posts, have you tried a lens cleaner?<BR /><BR />I am not sure if they do any good but it might be worth a try.<BR /><BR />If its still under warranty I guess it won't break the bank.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 03 Mar 2006 14:28:20 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/optical-drive-problem/m-p/156539#M97909 William 2006-03-03T14:28:20Z
