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.

If it ended up costing $800, I'd dump this POS in the river, out of principle...See, this player itself-when used-is worth around $1K, or so

Exactly.

Before making an anchor out of the unit you might want to blow a little compressed air into the open draw, laser might just be dirty..
