Whoever came up with this rapid in and out thing, thank you very much. Your method resolved my problem on my cybershot U-30. After getting the runaround from Sony support. Cheers!

I HAVE SAME ERROR. MY CD WILL NOT SPIN UNLESS I TAP ON CAMERA, THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF TRYING TO READ CD, IT STOPS SPINNING AND GIVES ERROR. DO YOU THINK YOUR FIX WILL FIX BOTH PROBLEMS?

I have a DSC-F717 which started this problem after formatting on a computer but I think that this was entirely coincidental as no other memory stick out of three would work either. I took the camera apart last night as there was no warranty left anyway. I found the memory stick contacts on the camera side to be dull and dirty as well as slightly "sprung". I cleaned them with a pencil eraser and gently positioned them so that better contact would be made with the memory stick. The camera began working again immediately upon putting it back together and so far, so good.

I got a Sony MVC-CD500 and on a couple of my disks, it's giving me this C:13:01 error. Now, it came with a Sony 156MB 8cm CD-R and CD-RW, but when I went to get some media for it, I got 210MB Memoryx 8mm CD-RWs. My two problem CD-RWs are the Memorex brand. Could the problem have something to do with the 156MB vs. 210MB? I see now that Sony sells 200MB 8cm CD-Rs, and if you believe the heiroglyphics on the back of the package, they are intended to be used in cameras (and who else makes CD-R/W cameras? - they must be intended to work in Sony Mavica cameras). Anybody out there have this error with Sony 156MB media? It's 5x more expensive - I'd hate to have to buy it from Sony.

HOW DO YOU REFORMAT A FLOPPY ON YOUR COMPUTER?

Mavica FD 73 - - The dreaded 1301. I put a brand new disc in ----take a few pictures - up it comes - and Disc Error...I put into my computer...and it won't show anything. Seems like the Camera is just eating up the discs....I take a new one -try it ---and it gets a Disc Error --so I toss out a disc.....................I tried to push tabs - - etc.......I'm ready to just throw it in the dump. I paid $125.00 - - and cannot see spending a fortune to repair it.......At work we've been using the same style camera for years - never happened.........so I buy one - and have hardly used it --and now it's broken........agghhhhhh! SHould I just toss it?
