hello all. I haven't seen this particular model before, so i want to make sure there isn't a simpler expalanation. The dvd spins and i can hear the focus servo working, etc. However it never shows an error message, the dvd just stops trying to read. The display goes blank, but will display other function info. I dunno, but my guess is the laser... Jim McVey McVey Alltronix 327 Broadway Newburgh Ny 12550 ph: 845 561 8383 fx: 845 561 9017 Consumer electronics & computer service.
