I had this exact thing earlier this year! I was working on an AIWA
system which would not read discs. was about to toss it aside when I
noticed some dirt near the laser . After carefully removing the lens
there was some kind of dead insect blocking the beam path - removed,
cleaned up, reassembled and worked fine!
why it chose precisely the most precision-made heart of the machine to
live in is beyond me...

There was a credit card commercial about things they covered,
including some kid shoving a peanut butter & jelly sandwich into a VCR.
