Have a Vaio VGN-C2S (the orange one) Yestarday while saving some data to the CD the divre went unresponsive. Restarted the computer. Now the drive doesnt work. When I put a CD in it makes some noise for a few seconds but nothing el happens!!! Before the mouse pointer chaged with a spining cd but not anymore. The computer doesnt reconise the CD in the drive and if I try do drag anyfile to the drive the computer asks me to put in a CD even when there is one already in. Today I finished the Vaio recovery tool to factory condition... didnt work. Uninstalled the driver and intalled it back in.... doesnt work. Tried a solution deleting part of the registry the regedit thing that I read before.... no good. Even pushed the lens up and down the path... no good
SOunds like a hardware fault. I think that you would have damaged it even more by pushing the lens up the railing. No contact should be made with the lens.
Best take it to be repaired, or hopefully its under warranty.
