This sounds like either an adjustment or possibly a sled drive issue.sigh... I tried a new laser on my favorite, a Luxman D-105u. no luck. as it stands now, it loads, spins up and reads the number of tracks and the total play time. it then spins, then spins faster, then stops. I saw a thread where someone fixed one of these by replacing a diode. I guess I need a good multi meter and some soldering skills.
