Thanks, will check out the link. I just stumbled over the article that I referenced, a friend of mine has SONY CDP-XA 50 ES (or a very similar model) and it is skipping tracks and stopped reading disks altogether, just spinning. My initial reaction was also to buy a new laser but maybe this is not needed after all.
