It plays Audio CDs just fine, but DVDs won't play anymore. A couple of times when we inserted a DVD, it made a pretty horrible grinding noise and then spit it out again. I have since opened the DVD player to check it out - all moving parts look to be properly greased, the DVD mechanism is fine from what I can see. It can raise and lower the laser assembly without problems, the eject mechanism works fine and the laser diode is functional as well (plays audio CDs, after all... ;] ). I can even see the laser diode moving up and down when it tries to focus. However, when a DVD is inserted there is now some sort of fine clicking noise coming from someplace that I cannot identify. It tries to read the DVD, moves back and forth a couple of times, the DVD spins up, but gets spit out again after a few seconds.
I've cleaned the laser lens directly (while I had it disassembled) with a high-quality photo lens cleaner tissue and solution, but that seems to have made no difference.
No idea what's wrong with it...?
