Sony vaio dvdrw not reading written dvds or burn dvds

My cus asked me to help him with his vivo, forgot model number sry but anyhow i tested it and it will read cd/cdr etc but no longer read burnt dvds tho i think he said original dvds work tho haven't tested. Also he cant burn anything any more.

Windows error reports a error and suggested that it was a faulty cable.

Are dvdrw cables for laptops easy to come by if so we might try getting one to test see if it is the cable but first i wanted to know what opinions ppl have with the prob im describing.

He had this exact prob before and got the drive replaced as was found faulty and he said 3 months after replacement same thing happened so he was a bit peeved about that.

If it is the drive is there any guides on how to replace a laptop dvdrw, also which would be a good replacement? Its a silver vivo lappy so a silver tray cover would be best but i duno owt about which drive to get if it is the drive thats faulty.

PS - I the drive is a Matshita UJ-831 DA
PPS - model is i think VGN-FS115B

I was thinking of the ones on sale on ocuk site. Or do they have to be the exact same model and brand as my cus has had two of these matshita drives and he wants a better brand one, so was thinking of a samy from ocuk. Duno if it would fit etc, how would i find out this info?
