I suggest that you download the 9000 service manual and read it before proceeding!

There is a test routine described in the service manual which should help. My guess.........dirty laser lens........or cd mech knackered.

If it's a motorised stand then the motor will be different. If it's non motorised then it will be OK

You can buy a modified Beo4 which will do this job. Someone in Scandinavia I believe but I can't recall who or where!
