Aye you looking for buying a new DVD burner?

Buy SONY.

NEVER BUY SONY-NEC OPTIARC Drive (Cheap Sony drives).

It sounds like you are having the exact problem I am. I'm being told I need to replace the CDRW drive

Have you tried burning a CD in the new drive? Because the drive is a DVD it will always be recognised as a DVD, but should work perfectly well with CDs both playing and recording.

check your lense with deffferent dvds if it works then it is ok if it not works then you have change or repair lense if it is warrenty take it to service shop they replaced it.

Sorry, but that model is not a DVD writer. It can only write and rewrite CD's. It can only read DVD's.

Here is a page with specs:

Sony CRX310S Specs

Note under DVD>Write DVD it says N/A. (Not applicable.)

this should work, put new cables ok

Yes, your burner is toast. Go order you a new one, open this puppy up, and install it. No need to worry about voiding the warranty, cause your warranty has long expired on this old beast. If your hands are unsteady or your tech skills a bit rusty, then pay someone to do it.
