hi just been up all night with the same problem, so i took the laser out of my computers dvdrw drive and with a bit of fiddling i managed to get it into my dvd player, the foil connectors are the same so i figured what the hell, fired up the dvd player and it didn't work. Into the bin you go sony.

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.

many thanks
