How old is the unit? If it's less than 10 years old, Sony is legally obliged to provide parts.
Do you have a lawyer? Have him call Sony and threaten them.

Thanks. Unit is about 6 years old. Don't have a lawyer, not one
myself and I don't even play a lawyer on TV but can you tell me from
what part of the law this legal obligation comes? Some kind of
implicit warranty of merchantability or something? Sony says they ran
out of DW-U15A drives and have no more in the warehouse. Not sure
they ever stocked internal parts for the drive.
