Well that sucks, Thanks for your help I was hoping it would be something
simple. One more question, why does it only seem to do it at the outer
edge of the disk? If the laser was deteriorated laser why not on the whole
disc why just 1/2" from the end of the disc. Thanks for all your time!

It's THE classic symptom of a deteriorated laser pickup on a DVD player.

I'd have to look up the part price, and there's a difference between
what
a
servicer would pay for the part, and the "retail" price a private
individual
would pay. Then there's labor to install and set up

Could be more than the cost of a new one. Maybe 130.00 to 140.00.
