I just spent a week with Sony Support re: a dead DVD burner. Bottom line: I need to replace the burner and they cannot/won't tell me what will fit. Has anyone replaced their burner successfully, and what brand or model fits w/o a lot of modification?
TIA, and Merry Christmas

Jackie,
Greetings and welcome. A Merry Christmas to you too!
Judging by the appearance of the PCV-RZ24G tower, it looks like it would hold a regular full height drive. In other words a standard replacement and not a proprietary Sony size.
I would suggest removing the drive from the case and getting it's physical measurements and comparing them to a standard DVD internal ROM drive.
If it comes down to the DVD burner only fitting that model you could always go with an external DVD burner. I was at Tiger Direct last week and they had a nice looking dual layer burner for under $50(US).
