    Sony DRU-800A

    My good old Sony burner is acting up. It will not read some of the data DVD's that were make by it now. The other "junk" drive will read them just fine. As I am a heavy smoker could the optics in the drive just need a cleaning? If this be the case would a Q-tip and some alchohol do the trick?

      its worth a shot, but usually the nicotine does damage and builds crud in places that you cant clean.

          Thanks Topcat. I do see your point. The thing had a bad price tag when new but not now. I think a better replacement drive can be had for $50 today. Maybe I should pour a cold "Bud" in it. Its tired and just wants a cold one now Mate!

              Try cleaning the lens with a cotton swab (yeah, Q-tip) and a lot of isopropyl alcohol. Household alcohol is better than nothing but it can be slightly more aggressive than isopropyl, depending on what kind of additives are into.

                              @ KC8: I'm a teetotaller, I never drink alcoholic beverages nor I suggest to do.
                              I didn't realize "household alcohol" doesn't mean cleaner with denatured ethanol used at home but alcoholism at home, so I apologize for my mistake.
                              I thought household was a good translation for italian adjective casalingo, a 360 degrees word referring to house-made (house-made cooking such as house-baken bread) or house-related objects (e.g. kitchen furnitures, dishes, pots, decorations) and people working at home. I was wrong.

                              So, my advice is to clean the dvd lens with a q-tip and isopropyl alcohol: other cleaners may work but YMMV.

                                  alcohol abuse is the wasting of perfectly good booze on junk electronics.

                                              Diagnosed this TV as having a failed main board which I've replaced with one from a KDL 55HX850. They are (supposedly) the same board.

                                              Being 'Smart TV' it requires a firmware reboot when you swap out boards such as T-Con or main board. It starts with a black screen and flashing yellow and green LEDS, indicating it needs that firmware boot. The procedure described all over the web is to put the software into the root directory of a FAT32 formatted USB drive and it should load that up once plugged into USB1 port. But not for me. I can see the LED on the USB chip flash for about...
