	I have a SONY CD-ROM CDU-76S. After about six months of use 
it started giving trouble. While using it, it would suddenly stop 
loading. The busy indicator light would be on and the drive would 
continue to try to read the disk. A requester on screen would say 
'no disk present in device CD0'. Sometimes the drive would be 
able to read the disk again for a short while before the problem 
started again. More often the drive would continue to try to read 
the disk without success and without stop. I would be unable to 
eject the disk. All I could do was turn the power to the CD drive 
off for a while. When the power was back on things worked alright 
for varying leath of time.
	I took the drive to the local SONY company who checked it 
out, said the laser was faulty and replaced it. Two months later 
the problem started again. Back to SONY, the laser was defective 
and was replaced free of charge.
	Three days later the problem is back. Some times I can use 
the drive for a long period without trouble, other times only a 
short while.
	Before I take the drive back to SONY again, I was hoping 
someone could shine a light on this annoying problem. If anyone 
has had similar problems or has any information I'd be glad to 
hear about it.
	The computer recognises the drive but the drive can't read the disk.

Thanks.
