isnt there any troubleshootin tht can be done. b4 i take it back to the shop ?
may be the problem can be solved..without ..taking it to the shop..cauz i got it from lamington road..and the place is far away from my house. !!
 
why do u want to do some troubleshooting and complicate matters even more? let the ppl u brought from do the troubleshooting. do as x86 said and go to the shop from where u got it from. if any problem is found out they might just give u a new drive.
 
If u try troubleshooting on your own(i.e physically) the warranty will be void...even if u do successfully trobleshoot it, the problem may resurface after a while...always better to get a replacement if within warranty :)
 
Sony drives suck they dont have replacement parts available for drives more than 1 yr old, Avoid Sony opticals drives at all cost. Sony definately needs to pull up their socks and try making the drive worth for the money u put in, i spent 6k on a Sony DVD writer dru710a in 2005 and it conked out on meexcatly one month after warranty. and when i wanted to get it repaires it seems sony service center cannot get the spares.
Go back to the delaer return it and get an LG drive
