Audio Aero Prima - not responding


My audio aero prima is not responding to discs
just 4 dashed lines in the display
sounds like maybe the laser gave up the ghost

audio aero doesn't seem to answer emails
is there a reputable US repair shop I can contact

thanks

Just remeber that many companies were off to the CES in Vegas as early as Tuesday of last week. Many are just getting home now. That could account for the lack of replies to email and phone calls.
Jody @ Globe Audio has always been very helpful and responsive for me. I agree with Golden ears that he may be out of the office returning from a show, etcetera....
spoke with Greg today (thursday)
ship to him - if the transport/laser is bad could be $800 ouch

That's ridiculous.

I recently had the laser assembly replaced in my Denon 3910. The part cost $150. Figure an hour of labor.

If your Prima uses the Philips CDM12 transport, they are being sold new-in-the-box on Ebay for $39.

If your Prima uses the Sony transport, it shouldn't cost any more than the $150 laser assembly installed in my Denon.

$800 seems out of line for this repair.
