spiff: I strongly suspect that you are out of the warranty period and are on your own.

I know that some on this board have had good exerience with refurbs, but I wouldn't touch one unless it had an "extended" warranty. Of course, that is just me, though.

I second the thought of using a disc cleaning device of some sort. I would not recommend that you take it apart unless you are very handy with parts and electronics.

Best of luck!!!!

Let us know how it comes out.
