[QUOTE="gbyleveldt, post: 72726, member: 122"] V, The only way to really know if it's the laser is to check the eye pattern and verify it's the correct amplitude. If you've got an iffy servo drive it can also cause issues like this as the laser can't focus properly. But granted, that's an old player and those 213's were really pumped out by the billions for peanuts and $25US is little money to spend anyway. You sound like you not too scared of DIY, and that repair is really easy. Just note that you must remove the shorting solder blob on the laser before powering up the unit, but after you fitted it. It's there to protect the laser against static discharge. Otherwise there's nothing to align on those players. [/QUOTE]
