#Problems with SONY drive
3 messages in this thread
I have a CDU31A Sony CD_Rom Drive. I have sent it back to SONY once
because the CD Door was slow at opening. However, they checked it out
and made no change. I fixed that problem by installing it differently.
My problem is that the drive does not seem to be reliable. It works well
for an half hour or so (sometimes) and then the Commerce Clearing House
programing tells me that the drive is not recognized, or alternatively
there is a failure of the drive.
Does SONY have any represenative etc. on this forum? or another forum?
Thanks,
Sony doesn't have any official or unofficial presence hereabouts, I'm afraid.
They do have their own BBS at 408-955-5107 for whatever solace that might
bring.
Your drive is generally very dependable; and, althought it certainly is
possible that it's suffering from an intermittent problem, I'd suggest
examining your base system for things that might be upsetting the CDROM.
That's by far the most common problem. For some tips on doing that, download
file Laser3.txt frm the CDROM Forum (GO CDFORUM).
Good luck!
Thank you very much for your helpfull response. I will download that
file and study it. I also may communicate through the BBS that you
provided the number for.
Thanks again
