Phillips is known for their transport problems in the industry. It's probably the laser and would be too expensive to repair. You could try cleaning the laser. Do you smoke?
Reboot or Die?
My Phillips SACD1000 player may be dead. When I turn on the power I get a number of dashes "------" on the screen and a faint repeat clicking sound from the inside of the player.
It will not open or play and none of the control buttons do anything. The remote will not turn the player off or on. As I only paid $399 for it a few years ago so it ain't worth sending off for fixing. Besides, I have read that the chip sets are no longer made or available.
This happened without warning. Working fine one day, like this the next.
My only thought is to somehow reboot the thing. Any ideas how? Or, do I trash it or sell it for parts? I've also wacked it a couple of times but that fix didn't work. LOL
