SONY RDR-GX210
ok well my question is quite simple i know why its not reading dvd's its because the laser is duff. so the drive needs to be replaced, but where on earth do u find such parts i have searched the net, and asked the approved sony repairers but they dont reply to my emails.
i have taken the old drive out but cant find a part number on it, was hoping it was going to be similar to a computer drive but it has a small foil ribbon cable instead of a pc ribbon cable.
if anyone can point me in the right direction and give me a part number i would be very gratefull. astragte@aol.com
i am in the uk by the way.
The part is available in the UK from Nikko (the cheapest I can find): http://www.dalbani.co.uk/catalogue/product_details.php?id=30644 - however, the PCB on the unit accepts a standard IDE socket and power socket. I am about to perform major surgery. Watch this space....

I have the same fault and have just been quoted £104 by my local sony Centre for a new DVD drive assembly. The quote cost me £42 which would make the total bill £144. I have bought a new LG DR175 from Tesco for £120 and it appears to do all the same things.
