    The DVD-RW drive in my vgn-c140g fell out. Im having a hard time locating a replacement drive. I think I might have found the right one.



    Found this on cdw: http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=1208996



    Sony Part #: AWG540A-10




    If someone can tell me if this is the right one, or can lead me to the right one, it would be much appreciated.

    You know the original model number or that's what you're searching?

    that would work, but the drive is no longer working, or does my computer register it as attached.
