I'm sure you've already received the right information to get you on your way, but just in case, clean the lens by using a lens cleaner product. Failing that, you'll need to replace your CD ROM drive.

first subject to do is to earnings even if in case you have used the splendid cables and set the jumpers to the splendid positions. Jumpers are those little tab issues which you insert into the pins interior the back of the stress. Cable pick is probable the ideal subject to objective first. If it does not artwork, attempt changing the jumpers on one tension to comprehend and the different to SLAVE. If the two drives you had formerly 'broke' on you, probability is its the pc itself that has a situation. first subject i might do is verify BIOS and gadgets supervisor, it is what you have executed, yet i might additionally motel to reformatting/reinstalling abode windows to make specific your no longer uncomplicated tension is cleared of any bugs/viruses. I had hardware subjects with my Packard Bell pc, which banished once I reformatted utilising my own replica of XP, particularly than restoration discs with all that ineffective and buggy Packard Bell mods and addons. If reformatting and reinstalling does not artwork, attempt your previous disc drives on yet another pc, it truly is advisable to objective the hot ones too just to make specific they at the instant are not defected the two. i offered a Pioneer 16x DVD-RW till now for a pal and it worked on my own computing device and his one. yet i've got observed that yours is a Lightscribe tension, which shouldn't make a great number of a distinction although. pondering the actuality that your Sony VAIO VCG-RA820G is a minimum of three years previous, i'm assuming your guarantee is previous? i've got additionally regarded on line for the style you have and it seems quite complicated - liquid cooling, cluttered interior. besides, once you're waiting to attempt the drives on yet another computing device and locate out all of them nonetheless artwork, your computing device is maximum in all probability have been given inner problems. in the event that all of them do no longer artwork, properly according to threat you're unlucky and you will probable have tell whoever you purchased the DVD writers from that they are defective. If interior the top, your Sony Vaio is dying, new desktops are very decrease priced and just about each twin center computing device is in a position to outperform the previous, warm, skill hungry Pentium 4 HTs.
