Hello Open the bottom cover Played with a disc inserted The disc rotates as soon as the power is turned on. It was confirmed that a red laser was applied to the disc from the gap. blam1 wrote: powerofld wrote: I tried again The state did not change
Laser irradiation also works Could not access the mirror → Wiring is complicated
The disc rotates, but you hear a rattling sound It's like a pip-up looking for a disc
Model not sold in Japan at the time I think only I own the Japanese How did you determine the laser is firing? The HeNe tubes Philips used were horrible and out gassed within a few years.

While I know nothing about this player or much of the older players tech wise. Just because it lights up does that mean it actually works???? Does it actually light up enough?? At least its a nice looking paperweight. Its a shame as I always loved the look of those players and always wanted one but just don't have that extra space or money when I could buy a piece of signed art to look at. Or pay someone to make a painting of the player

How about I'm worried about circuit peeling.

The history of laser discs is interesting This seems to be a paperweight Good decoration for the room rein-o wrote: Man you are rich. Throwing good money after bad, this will unfortunately never be working and you will pay minimum of 75 dollars to have this tech look at it. Even if they can fix it there are no parts, I am positive that they will find out a part is bad and you can't fix it and will have spent more money.
Stop while you are ahead. Good Luck.
