for my sony PCG-41216L, Opt. drive (Matshita DVD-Ram UJ8a2as) does not detect a CD / dvd. I have cleaned the transport, tried to check the drivers, but found out at various sites that this sony does not require replacement of drivers. Now I am opting for replacing the drive. I have never opened this laptop and scared to deface it. Can anybody tell how can this drive be replaced and do I need a sony part or can I just buy a slim dvd replacement for it.
PS I also noted that the ribbon under the transport which is supposed to remain inside the slider comes out and gets squished under the slider and the laptop so there is a slight chance that this cable might have damaged internally.
Do I need to open the laptop or can this be done externally by reaching screws etc? Pl. help!
