I thought the light from the laser was not in the spectrum of human vision.
But if it went to the shop, you paid so back there for a test. Be sure to bring a non-playing title.

I have a problem with the unit not recognizing a DVD or CD, I have had it into a repair shop who fitted a new DVD unit but it still wouldn't work. There is no glow from the laser unit.
Has anyone any ideas to what the problem might be.
Regards, Mel.
