Loads, spins a little shows "Loading" then shows "Disk Error" and refuses to play. Worked fine the day before.

I opened her up and noticed laser wasn't turning on.
I tried to force it to turn on by entering 'zoom,0,3,0,zoom' via the remote but it still doesn't turn on. Any ideas?

You may already have given up on this model and bought a new one, however, I have (sort of) a solution to this problem. I have a Toshiba SD-2800 that, over the years, has had limited use and today, when I tried to use it, I received constant "Disk Error" messages on all media, blank and pre-recorded. On other boards I saw a reference to shock-absorber feet on the drive mechanism that collapse over time, causing the drive to bind up. I put in a disk and, as quickly as possible, turned the unit upside down. The disk played normally. In order to eject the disk, I had to turn the unit right side up or else the platter would open and the disk would remain inside the unit.

Clumsy? Yes, however, it worked. I plan to open the case tomorrow and see if there is some way to prop up the drive mechanism to avoid the flip action. Doubt I can get new parts on a unit this old.

More than likely it is long gone by now since the posting is over 3 years old. I am familiar with the collapsing shock absorber syndrome that was rather common to the SD9200 series(top of the line at the time). Main problem was the rattling sound &/or causing the disc to scrape against the tray due to collapsed mechanism. Of course Toshiba blamed it on substandard discs and came up with a "new & improved" damper kit as a replacement. Even remember the part number: 79070496
Interesting that you can see a similar situation is SD 2800. I think that it is more than likely a collapse lens rather than the mechanism but if you need to raise it, you could always add washers.
