Post subject:  [DVL-909] Laser hitting spindle

A friend of mine owns a dvl-909
Recently the dvd laser started hitting the spindle motor upon startup. Pushing it back makes it work again from time to time.
Anyone have a clue what's going on?
since I have spare parts for these players I might try to repair it if I would know what is causing this issue...?

When the DVD spins up, the pickup is a little ways back from the spindle. It will then jump all the way to the spindle motor to read the lead-in tracks. I've seen where it will jump forward and then act like it loses focus and the laser shuts down. The DVD tangential adjustment screw (rear corner, opposite the motor) may be off. Try adjusting 1/4 turn either direction. But remember where you started, and don't turn it more than 1/2 rotation in either direction. You won't damage anything, but getting it back to the correct spot will make you pull all your hair out.

There are two position switches on the bottom plate to signal the processor when the laser is at LD and CD position, they could be intermittent and need to be replaced
