What you are really saying is that many units are taken to service departments and the laser is blamed. I think this stems from the fact that most B&amp;O these days is serviced by replacing modules and some of the basic skills are being lost. Unfortunately this becoming much more common with a few shining exceptions.<br /><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/25141.aspxSun, 24 Jun 2007 03:21:16 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:25141joeyboygolf0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/25141.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=25141When I get one that I can&#39;t fix I&#39;ll let you know.

A friend of mine has a little stash of said lasers because he has seen quite a few faulty. The CD50 and CDX seem indestructible by comparison! I have only had one faulty - in a CD4500 - but that was when a new laser was available. However you obviously see far more than me!<br /><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/25079.aspxSat, 23 Jun 2007 17:57:46 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:25079joeyboygolf0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/25079.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=25079<p>I&#39;ve never known of an actual laser go faulty on&nbsp;any of these systems, it has always been another component associated with the CD mechanism and so far all bar one have been fixable by me personally.

I would have (and indeed do) the 9500. The CD unit is no longer available.
