Replacement of dvd VRD-VC20

Hello

Has anyone tried to replace the DVD drive in a Sony VRD-VC20?

If so, is there any saving of time and aggravation to avoid advice you can offer?

I found this camera at hand.  Unfortunately, it seems that Sony stopped producing the DVDirect line.  The drives are available in secondary markets (IE ebay or amazon). However, the prices seem exhorbinant.

Thanks in advance for your help

If there are any problems with your DVDirect unit, we strongly recommend that you have a technician to repair the unit for you. You can visit our eService site for more information on sending in the assessment.

  • Replace the DVD RW Drive (Sftware)

    Hi I have a m8013w desktop pc. I have lightscribe. My DVD drive has failed and I ordered a new one that comes with the lightscribe software. My question is that I have to use the software installation disc which will come with the new drive or am I ready for departure without having to reinstall the software. I have now. I'm on the other procedure like uninstall in Device Manager and replacing the drive. I'm not sure how my software would be affected and the purpose of the disk that is shipped if I have lightscribe. Or are there other things on the installation disc. It is not mentioned in the instructions. Thank you.

    Keith

    You don't need to do anything about this either except to replace the DVD drive... do not worry about the installation of new software or uninstalling the driver from Device Manager.

  • Satellite M30 - error message after replacing the DVD drive

    Virgin, excused my English ;)
    I have a satellite m30 and I replaced the DVD-cd-rw drive in series with a SLIM NEC ND-6650 DOUBLE LAYER, DVD time bios gives me error
    0203: failure IDE #2
    Is it possible to remove this message?

    Hello

    As far as I know that this message can not be eliminated and it happens every time if you want to use the drive is not compatible. Always is it that all readers may not work with all models of laptops.

    In this case, fundamental problem is the pin assignment. It is not the same in all players.

    Good bye

  • Tips for the replacement of DVD burners on Tecra series

    I think I need to replace my DVD burner. I used a carpet * a UJ-811 t came with the laptop, but it is no longer Burns correctly, although he continues to play well. Initially, I thought it was a problem with Nero (calibration error), but it doesn't matter what burning program I use. I spent a weekend through various forums looking for a solution: I ran a lens clean and updated drivers, looked for the firmware updates (nobody seems to be able to find for the carpet *, including on the Firmware Page), tried the brands of different media (although I initially using Sony and TDK in any case). All with no luck. So I think that he has reached the stage that I need to replace the burner itself.

    So, advice on brands and type? I want something that is internal and easy self-installation. I would like to also buy online and get fast shipping (I'm leaving Ireland in about a month) so also website suggestions welcome. Please keep your relatively simple tips; I am a relative novice who learns quickly.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    It's a shame! It of always frustrating when the player no longer works!
    But there is not much to do! You said that the calibration error message appears.
    Well, it seems that the drive cannot calibrate the lens correctly and this leads to problems of engraving!
    As you already assumed the replacement drive is required!

    Usually, the user that was preinstalled on your laptop manual should provide some compatible readers and supported!
    Check it! My user manual contains this info!

    But if you don t find anything, I recommend you contact the ASP in your country for the disk drive!
    You should know that not all readers are compatible because of the master/slave/c-salt settings.
    If the drive supports bad settings of the BIOS does not correctly recognize this device!

    So, make a call to the service provider and ask for more details! Good luck

  • Satellite M30 - after replacing drive DVD 0203: failure IDE #2 appears

    Hello

    I replaced the DVD unit on my Satellite M30 as it was broken. I installed the same unit (UJ - 820B), but now at startup, I get the error message 0203:Failure IDE #2 with options to continue starting in the operating system or run the Setup program (which does not offer something to solve this problem). The operating system (Windows XP sp2) loads fine, but the DVD unit is not recognized.

    Help!

    Thank you.

    Hi Paul,.

    All optical discs are delivered with a parameter of the base (master, slave, or C/salt) interface configured in the firmware. on PC, readers there are usually small switches to activate this setting to change, but unfortunately on readers portable there is not, so it is very important to make sure the new drive is correctly implemented by the manufacturer of the correct specification for your laptop.

    If you got the new drive to an ASP then you will need to confirm with them that the new drive is set correctly.

    From my experience, most third-party resellers don't advertise what settings their readers that makes get a suitable replacement that is very difficult.

    Kind regards

  • M30 - 107 - replace the DVD - RW drive?

    I replace the DVD - RW drive in my laptop. I was wondering if someone could tell me the steps that would be involved in it, or else where I might be able to find this information.

    Thank you!

    Hi Philippe,.

    Feliks is altogether correct with his comments about your request. Because the device is "fixed" in your notebook will invalidate you your warranty if you replace yourself.

    However, as with most laptops, CD/RW can be removed if you really want to. It is normally split into place and then fixed by one or two screws. For example, my A30 is secired by a single accessible screw from the base of the laptop. I don't know about the model M30 you need so you will need to check where it is attached.

    Once the screws are released, the unit can be slipped out of its slot.

    You should then be able to find the label on the device and this will tell you the serial number and model.

    If you are replaceing with a similar device, then you will probably have to remove the plastic frame and cut panels and mounting brackets and adapt them to the new unit.

    Replace the unit and the re - fix it with the screws and the work is done then.

    You can, of course, replace your device with another (Toshibe notebooks) do use several different, but there is no guarantee that you new unit will work properly without having to install new drivers for it.

  • Video Driver recordable Sony VRD-VC20

    Is there anyway to get a Sony video recordable driver VRD-VC20 to work with Windows 7?

    Thank you! Yrma

    Hi Yrma,

    Windows 7 and Windows Vista operating systems were released after the introduction of this model DVDirect.

    Compatibility with these operating systems has not been made.

    Although it is possible from that recorder DVDirect can work with these operating systems, it can not be guaranteed.

    Only Windows XP and Windows 2000 Professional have been certified to work with this burner, DVDirect.

  • Replacement drive DVD open/close button does not reach (model HP p6110f)

    Hi all

    I replaced my DVD drive on my P6110F desktop with a model from Asus. Everything works fine * except * the fact that existing teeth of the open/close Panel button do not reach the real button on the disc itself, me leaving no option but to use a desktop widget to open the CD tray.

    I searched on the net and can't seem to find a solution. Any ideas on how to make this work? Thanks for your suggestions.

    Czar

    I had the same problem with my P6-2371ea, so what I did adjust the screw until it touches, then tighten them, if it is not an option due to too much of a gap to take the front off the PC and put a match with adhesive tape double sided on the DVD button or something similar it has worked for me in the past
