Re: Re: Re: SONY C:13:01 ERROR

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

  I have the cd300 and wonder if you fix these cameras also? I have had the camera since 2001 and it is now giving me the error code of 13:01 and cannot read or format the mini cd's that I put in it. I have bought a spindle of 100 cd's figuring that the cd's that I had were just bad and that was the reason that I got that error but it was not. The Cd spins so I know that teh motor that spins it is working but I am feeling that the lens is the problem. I can hear it trying to move or moving but it just keeps on doing the same noise over and over. I am located in Tennessee and like this camera and I am hoping that you can help out. I know that this was posted in 2005 and it is now 3 years later so I am hoping that you are able to see and read this. Have you found out any new information or websites since this posting?
  
  Thank you for any help and information
