How can I fix my RDR GX 210?

I purchased a secondhand Sony RDR GX210 recently so no warranty, and 2 months in it will not read dvd disks. It will read music disks and looking at a previous post I have been informed that the laser has not enough power to read dvd's.

Can I replace the drive? Can anyone tell me if I could use another drive from a machine to fix this one. I've looked at the connectors on the back of the drive but they are not the standard ide connectors. Is there a laptop drive I could retro fit.

Any help would be apppreciated.
Thanks

hi mate sorry i dont have an answer to your question, i am asking if you have got your machine fixed as i have same problem,
have sent sony emails and there authorised repairers but no replies or anything.
did you manage to retro fit a drive? i too noticed they have foil connectors, i did wonder whether the drive from a pc would fit if you took the controller bourd out, as the controller board on the recorder is seperate from the drive.
i did also see on here that LG manufacture the drives for sony.
anyway if you do get any luck i would appreciate it if you could email me.
astragte@aol.com.
many thanks
