I have cleaned the whole cd player with an air hose. But i cannot access the transport laser without the whole transport assembly coming apart. and from what I've heard if you mess with the alinement. Is like trying to shine a laser on a spacific spot of the moon.haha and there was a bunch of dust bunnys in it for sure.
An the issue is I hear the motor revving up and out. Also the cd timer clock still runs but it just mutes in and out.
