Help. SONY VAIO notebook computer CD ROM does not work
I have a old SONY VAIO PCG F630 (windows ME) notebook computer. I just
want to reinstall with the recovery/reinstallation CDs. but the CD ROM does not open or does not work. The green light was never on. I tried to eject from my computer disk drive icon but failed. I believe if I reinstall the CDs it may work. The notebook connected in my home network and I tried to run the recovery CDs from another connected computer, but it only pops up some dos screen. I went to the SONY computer website and could not find the driver for CD rom. Any suggestion to fix it? Any website achives such driver? Thanks. |

Help. SONY VAIO notebook computer CD ROM does not work
I never opened a notebook computer. Can I open the back gently and
reset the drive cable? Martik wrote: wrote in message ups.com... I have a old SONY VAIO PCG F630 (windows ME) notebook computer.

Help. SONY VAIO notebook computer CD ROM does not work
wrote in message ups.com... I never opened a notebook computer. Can I open the back gently and reset the drive cable? Most laptops disassemble from the front. The fisrt step is usually removing the keyboard. There might be a bezzle or removable keys hiding the snaps that keep the keyboard in place. The CD-ROM drive (or whatever is in that bay) is usually the *easiest* thing to replace on a laptop. After that, everything becomes a pain in the butt. ~e. |
