The problem is: when I put the disk (both original or cdr), the drawer
closes, the clamp loads the cd, the laser moves towards the center of the
disk and the disk starts spinning. After 4-5 sec, the disk stops and the
laser goes back to the home position (out of the disk area).

I don't know if it is a focus or track problem, or is a laser fault...

Those symptoms are pretty typical of a worn laser. Looking at the eye
pattern may help with diagnosis. If you can find a marked test point for it,
most manufacturers have the level there pretty much 'standardised' at about
1v p-p.

Thanks Arfa, I'll bring the player @work and scope it. I don't know how
the TP1 test point pinout, but found the RFO pin on the Sony ICX1367
This transport uses Sony KSS-240a laser pickup. I've read on the net
that Sony made 3 different versions of it and that not all fit the
VRDS-7. Do you know how to avoid buying the wrong spare part?
