I have a Sony DVP-S735D which was no longer playing DVDs. It could, however, still play CDs. The diagnosis, by my service agent, was a new (and very expensive) laser assembly. I have latterly obtained and carefully fitted a new (but non-OEM) replacement KHM-220AAA laser assembly, but, after entering the service mode menu, the drive auto adjustment just quits on calibration of both DVD-SL and CD. A 'NOTHING' message appears on the machine's display while the calibration is being attempted and, in addition, some of the orange fascia LEDs came on on one occasion. On refitting the original laser assembly, it, frustratingly, doesn't play or calibrate anything at all now, either...not even CDs. I don't have a service manual, so do not wish to go into the unexplored depths of the test mode menu without good advice. Is the problem possibly because something needs to be reset in the service menu before calibration. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Forbes Macgregor

- Thank you, Rob. I'm grateful for your cautionary advice. Incidentally, I have just checked the well-known F402 fuse on the meter, and it is showing continuity, so that particular fix isn't one that needs to be done here. Forbes Macgregor
