I have a Sony Discman, that after 20-30 minutes of use, does not seek
the next track correctly.  If it does, there is a repatitive sound
in the background.  I brought it to a CD repair place for an alignment.
They wouldn't fix it because they said it had a "weak laser".  They
claim a new laser is about $150, and suggested I buy a new player.

I would rather not buy a new CD Player.  My questions:
1.  Has anyone experienced this problem? what was the solution to fix it?

2.  Can I buy a laser mechanism myself and have someone put it in?

Thanks,
Chandra Bajpai
