My 3 year old DV4100ose DVD player has just started sticking on CD playback. The unit has not really had that much use and only in pretty much cleanroom conditions.
Do I need to get a replacement laser unit? I have no clue on where to start fixing, but am competent electronically. Please help.

As I said in my thread, I'm not the one to give advice to anyone about electronics, but if you decide to change the optical pick-up, this is where I started, it gives a good idea of what's involved:

Did you clean the laser lens????????????
I own a El-Cheapo DVD-player, that refuses to work from time to time. All I do then is blow some air over the lens and all is fine!
Seems to me (after the second cleaning session in about six months...
) DVD-players are more susceptible to dust. Might have something to do with the laser wavelength

Let me tell you a little secret:
I always clean lenses with a bit of saliva before drinking the wine.
One tip of the cotton stick on the tip of my tongue to make it wet, clean the lens gently, turn the cotton stick provided it has two cotton tips and make it shine with the same gentle movements.
If the player works, I raise the glass.

yeah...the so called dust off air blower might be a bit risky to use...take the one who replied using cotton buds....that is damped to clean the focusing lens...that is the one visible on top of the optical lens......mildly and gently clean it in a rotational manner from center to the edges....and it might work...
