Hi I'm new here and am looking to repair an old Panasonic DMR-EZ25
When I got it there was a faulty power supply and no Freeview, I've fixed those problems now, but a new problem has started.
I took the top off the DVD unit to give the spindle and lens a clean as it wouldn't recognise a RAM DVD, it read and recorded a DVDR but didn't like RAM discs, however, now it won't read or play anything.
The drive whirs and clunks and the laser fires a few times but the disk does not spin and the unit reports an error.
Having read through the posts on here I realise a faulty laser is most likely but the posts I read suggest the unit will report that a disc is present even if one is not when the laser is faulty, my unit isn't saying there's a disc present even if one is so my question is would it still be the laser or have I likely disturbed something else?
