Peter, I work on Toshiba and Sony DVDs'. If the laser failure, 99% on the time customer refuse repairs. Cheaper to replace. Power supply problem normally be economical to fix, however, Lightening problem can be expensive. I will not advise you to repair because it will be step- by - step and it can be Power supply, Laser drive cct, CPU, servo etc.. Hope it helps' you in your decision.
