I have a Digitrex GK-2700 (Same as Apex AD-2700) & it was showing all the signs of a bad laser & a few other stupid problems like the disc was still spinning when it was ejected & the unit somtimes not powering up from cold.
I did a check on the rails on the power supply & I found the 3.3V rail was down to 2.4V (All other rails were within spec) So I replaced all the electros in the power supply & a startup resistor as well & now all the problems it had are now gone.
The funny thing was the unit was just over a year old when the caps started to fail & all the probs started.
Nothing is made to last beyond the warranty duration these days & parts are designed to last a year if not 3 years as in the case of computer motherboards when all the caps start to fail.
I have an Zenith T/O 3000-1 & it still has all of it's original electros & the radio is 41 years old...
