I've a DSL710 that has the usual no disk issue. It's been written that it's really a detector issue, but no matter. After opening the unit to my surprise I to found a HOP-1000 laser instead of a HOP1200s that I expected and had previously ordered. Can someone confirm or dismiss that the two lasers are interchangeable,? The player at present plays factory CDs but no CDR or DVDs. So most certainly it's the laser unit....
The answer is Yes, with a small adjustment. The white sled drive plastic piece will not fit flush via the two mounting screws unless you dramel off a portion of the black plastic. It's obvious what needs to be ground off after trying to fit the white plastic drive piece flush. Works 100% after the slight modification. $5 laser and back in business!
Sorry, I should of mentioned the black plastic that needs to be removed is on the replacement laser frame.
