Hello, just this morning, I dropped my MD player from about 3 and 1/2 feet and it landed on the corner. The circuitry seems fine, however I think that the laser is messed up. when I put a disc in, all it does is make a noise like the laser is moving up and down trying to focus on the data. I haven't taken it apart just yet, but I think either the laser is damaged or out of place. I was wondering if someone has taken apart one of these before, or has had the same problem. Thanks.

Cut one end off of a Q-tip. Open door and look inside. Motor turntable is in the center and optic is on the right. The optic should be close to the motor. Carefully move the optic with the cut end of the Q-tip toward and away from the motor. It should move without to much pressure. It could be jammed from the drop. If it moves too freely, The clip on the spindle motor could be out of place or bent. If it was jammed, getting it close to the motor should get it working again.

well if the laser won't focus you can actually slide it up and down and eventually after trying many positions mine got a reading on the cd, but didn't play anything

Hey I got the same problem as you and I though maybe if I dropped it again it would work again so I tried it and it worked again so I thought it might work for your cd player.

NOTE: i dropped it from about 2 feet as not to destroy it
