Its not the laser. It seems the problem is the little plastic sprocket that is mounted on the motor that moves the laser back and forth. It has a tendency to crack, which causes the gears not to mesh. Its an easy fix. just remove that gear and take a small drill bit and make the hole larger (but not too much) to minimize pressure on the gear. Reassemble and it should work like new.

1) Push "Set Up" on remote
2) Use arrow to get to "System" and push "Enter"
3) Use arrow to get to "Reset" and push "Enter"

Normally I would say clean the laser lens, but I actually had the exact same model with the exact same problem, and that didn't work. I was able to get mine to work sometimes by turning it off and on and unplugging it, but even after opening it up, re-lubricating the gears, and replacing a few capacitors near the reader, I never did find a permanent solution.
I guess this isn't what you wanna hear, but I think its an untraceable problem with the motherboard.
