Apart from the ridiculous unhackable region-lock annoyance - what is the point, exactly, apart from making sure you can't watch your own, legally-bought movies? - these drives are very choosy with the type of media they'll read. Right now, my one isn't reading ANY writeable discs at all, no matter what type or brand.<BR /><BR />Cheers,<BR />doonyakka<BR /><BR />PS. The OEM drive is a Matsh*ta UJ-841S<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 07 Dec 2008 22:20:30 GMT anforti77 2008-12-07T22:20:30Z Looking for replacement optical drive recommendations https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/looking-for-replacement-optical-drive-recommendations/m-p/27430#M57123 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>My VGN-FE11S's extended warranty is coming to an end, so I thought it would be a good time to replace the god-awful OEM Matsh*ta DVD-RAM drive that comes with it.<BR /><BR />I'd like to know if anyone has any experience with compatible, replacement drives that are (potentially) RPC1 and more reliable.
