Re: SONY C:13:01 ERROR

Hi, when this problem started I sorted it out by using a cleaning diskette, just once, without any cleaning liquid, it worked fine for several months, after that, the problem continued, and so I started to use the isopropilic alcohol, some drops in the cleaning diskette, worked for some more months, but now, it is not working at all, I bought a new cleaning diskette but it is not working at all, it seems to be an unusual quality problem of a genuine Sony equipment - as cars they should make a recall, free service to troubleshoot this annoying problem. Or, at least, to give sound and clear advice of what to do.

  I BOUGHT A USED MAVICA CD1000 WHICH BORE THE MESSAGE C:1301 DISK ERROR. IT IS PUR LIES. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE GEARS THAT DRIVE THE CD UNIT GET CHEWEDUP AND STOP TURNING THE DRIVE. I TOOK MY UNIT TO SONY IN MONTREAL, CANADA AND THEY HAD THE BOLD AUDACITY TO ASK ME $1024.00 TOREPAIR THE UNIT. WAITING FOR SOME INFORMATION TO ARRIVE, THEN I TAKE THEM TO COURT. IT IS ABSOLOTELY AN INFERIOR PRODUCT BY DESIGN. MEANTIME IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE I CAN GET THE GEARS THAT DRIVE THE CD CONTACT ME PLEASE.

    I don't know where to buy the gears, but I may be able to help you out. Did you see worn out gears yourself, or is this just what they told you is wrong? I have repaired several of the CD1000 cameras myself, and it has never been a matter of worn out gears, but rather a small metal arm that gets bent and no longer drives the laser back and forth correctly. Rather than fix this metal arm, most places would rather replace the assembly, which is when it gets expensive. Feel free to email me if you'd like to have me repair yours. Most of the time, it only costs $50 US, plus shipping

      Sounds like you are the CD-1000 guardian angel. I would like any info or help you can offer. Sony may not think $1000 is a lot of money, but when you spend that much, you expect it to get a return on your investment. One [1] dollar a day [$1000 divided by 1000 days, which is how long I have owned it] for just owning it (not using it) just doesn't sound like I made a deal at all. Retailed for $1300, but I only paid $999. It kind of reminds me, of the time when I went into a prominent Pacific Northwest retailer for some 6 volt batteries, and told the clerk that the batteries had exceeded their expiration date. I, then asked, if he had any new ones in the back. His reply was, "No!" "But I will let you have those in your hand for 1/2 price." For some strange reason [to the clerk], I said, "No". I know, why would anyone pass up a deal like that. I must be slipping. To tell the truth, I was still thinking about my Mavica not working. Again, if you can help, I would be grateful. Respectfully, Tom Fedder
