    You bought a brand new laptop, broke the sata cable connecting the dvd drive to the motherboard.

    then you complain about sony's policy about not selling a cable.

    You french people are funny.

    Anyways, what you want to do is check for the make of the dvd drive you have on google.

    that being said, call
    http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/ and ask for DON. Tell him you want the model ## of the dvd drive and ask if it comes with the sata cable, and he will quote you.

    the french are maybe funny, but they don't like to be swindle by robber's company... it' take two minutes to repair the problem and cost 300 $... i've got just one word sony = robbers...
