Unfortunately getting at the screws can be a major exercise.<BR /><BR />Rich found <A href="http://www.artidee.com/mic/" target="_blank">THIS LINK</A> earlier today, which was made by a Club Vaio member. It shows how to get into an A-Series Vaio. I would think you should be able to see how to get the drive out once you have opened the case.<BR /><BR />If you look at Section D of this <A href="http://site.nexttronicsparts.com/vgn-a51ps1.htm" target="_blank">EXPLODED DIAGRAM OF A297XP</A> you will see a close up of the fittings for the DW-D56A drive.<BR /><BR />Good Luck!!!!<BR /><BR /> <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.cz/html/@0248C33DDCF34AA61B8F8F33F5AFA5BE/images/smilies/013.png" alt=":wink:" title=":wink:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 01 Jan 2007 20:04:49 GMT https://community.sony.cz/t5/pcs-accessories/need-help-replacing-d56a-dvd-rw-on-an-vgn-a297xp/m-p/68647#M84554 Blencogo 2007-01-01T20:04:49Z Re: Need Help - replacing d56a dvd-rw on an vgn-a297xp!!! https://community.sony.cz/t5/pcs-accessories/need-help-replacing-d56a-dvd-rw-on-an-vgn-a297xp/m-p/68648#M84555 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanx alot !<BR /><BR />yesterday i replaced my DVD-Burner successfully <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.cz/html/@3191CA7235A406D833094BA2DD1CF2FF/images/smilies/011.png" alt=":slight_smile:" title=":slight_smile:" /> <BR /><BR />Ciao,<BR />liutom<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 04 Jan 2007 06:04:12 GMT https://community.sony.cz/t5/pcs-accessories/need-help-replacing-d56a-dvd-rw-on-an-vgn-a297xp/m-p/68648#M84555 liutom 2007-01-04T06:04:12Z
