CD audio is not recognized

Feb 17, 2004 9:56AM PST

I have a Sony Vaio PCGFXA6 Laptop XPHome Windows with combo CDRW/DVDROM.
DVDs and CD data roms are played fine but audio CDs are not recognized. What can I do?

Tough call. Call Sony now.

Its too possible to be a hardware issue. Let them fix it.

If it's a recent event, use SYSTEM RESTORE to when it worked or just reload their RESTORE CDs.

Guarantee is over. It will cost me 45 bucks. Any other idea?

Only 3 options...

1. New drive.
2. Try an CD Lens Cleaner.
3. Use some USB CDRW/DVD or such.
