Here's a nice juicy sound clip of it TRYING hard to play my CD...

Well here's the thing, it still can "somtimes" play a CD.. So I
didn't screw up the POT, besides, I marked it before I turned it.

I took the whole assembly, and dropped it into my Onkyo system (which
has the same laser and hookups), and it WORKED.

So I am thinking this little CD player has a bad PSU, and is possibly
not supplying enough power.
