PCV-RZ24G Replacing CD/DVD Burner?

[JH32552]

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).
