- The most common failure is lubrication of the laser pickups slide rails
- the laser has to move similar to a floppy drive head. You'll need to
- order this from manufacturer or find where they recommend to get it
- There are different types of lube.
-
- Next is the spindle motor this can cause skipping or the symptom you
- described. Depending on the model you may or may not be able to
- buy the motor seperately. EX: Sony sells only the whole mech assemply
- for 125.00 when the motor should only cost 7.00 or so.
-
- The last is alignment, you'll need a manual, service bulletins, test
- equipment and training. Good luck
-
- Try calling the manufacturer and finding out where you can ship the
- unit to for "Factory Service". They are usually cheaper than the
- local factory authorized service, and if they cannot fix it they can
- replace it .
