New drive for Panasonic DMR EZ25

Can anyone help with a problem with my DMR EZ25

It has been working fine for about 2 years and it now does not play any disk. (read error).
I have tried a DVD lens cleaner and nothing.
I have tried to clean the spindle (read from another post) and nothing.

when you insert a DVD you can hear the lens mech banging the end near the spindle (when its trying to read the DVD). Also the dvd does not spin up at this point. It only spins about 1 rotation.

I was wondering if its worth replacing the DVD drive itself and would anyone know where and how much?

Many Thanks
Justin

Hello Justin

Have a read of this thread .. and follow the links in post no 4.

Seeking the assistance of Panasonic is the only realistic path to success for this kind of failure... [ as the posts indicate - this is irrespective of the guarantee position ]
