laser mechanism for Sony EX7ESD

[dugsurf]

I have a Sony EX7ESD CD player and the laser mechanism needs replacing. Sony New Zealand say they no longer hold parts for this model. Any ideas as to what laser mechanism I might use and where I can find it?

laser assy or CD mechanism?

Sony CDP-X7ESD laser?

Hi,
You mean the Sony CDP-X7ESD?
Laser (KSS-190A) no longer available I am afraid or you have to search very hard.

If the laser is emitting light, could be that the suspension that holds the lens is damaged.
Use video camera to see the glow.

I don't know how it looks, but if it's like KSS210, u can fix the suspension of the lens by replacing from other avilable cheap assy.

There is a thread earlier started by me. Read that if laser diode is good.

in this case this thread could be of interest (include a little gallery and some schematic samples):
