Hello,

I have an immaculate beocenter 9300, and the laser has failed.

I am trying to source a laser lens for the phillips mechanism VAU1255/21

I have got lasers from liberty electronics when restoring units with linear tracking lasers, and they are a little hit and miss.

Has anyone had any experience with replacing the lens (the lens always seems to be the trouble in 90% of cases, and when changed, normally resolves the problem), or where to obtain one?

The CD mech is extremely easy to access to pull out and swap the lens over.

Not sure if it is the same phillips unit as any other units in the range at the time.

The serial number is 137xxxxxxx

It looks like a late 90's model (as it has matte panels.)

It would be a shame to put it out of service, and the local Bang & Olufsen service center said they cannot fix it.

I enclosed a pic if this helps.

Hope you all had a great weekend.
