you could try getting one of those cd drive cleaner things. it there
was any dust or dirt on the laser thet'd clean it off. have you tried
checking their website for support?? check for and diagnostic
utilities they might have, or possibly a firmware upgrade...

I think the Vaio comes with either a two or three year warranty as standard, so you might still be covered. (A friend with a Vaio got his DVD/CD-RW drive replaced under warranty recently and it was definitely more than a year old.)
