Can the drive move the laser back and forth on it's own?  I'm thinking it might be a dead laser.

kinda hard to tell on a model 1 - can you even get the thing to run properly with the case off?

no, always the same condition. the device reports me "cd out" all the time, from switching on till i'm in the cd-menu. what ever it means exactly, since i don't own a manual. i assumed a problem with the end-switches of the cd-sled probably..?

@kitsune: yes, the laser sled is moving smoothly, also i tried to adjust the laser focus itself via the potis.

Because you are a technological Gawd.  You are the "go to" person whenever anyone has a problem.  You were put on this earth for a reason... to help people and to improve their lives!

You might be onto something... maybe there's a "lid open/closed" type of switch in there and it's
stuck in the open position.
