- I have a Sony Discman, that after 20-30 minutes of use, does not seek
- the next track correctly. If it does, there is a repatitive sound
- in the background. I brought it to a CD repair place for an alignment.
- They wouldn't fix it because they said it had a "weak laser". They
- claim a new laser is about $150, and suggested I buy a new player.
-
- I would rather not buy a new CD Player. My questions:
- 1. Has anyone experienced this problem? what was the solution to fix it?
-
- 2. Can I buy a laser mechanism myself and have someone put it in?
