I currently have I have two Turbo Duos, one US and other imported for Japan. Both are doing the same thing. A friend of mine says that he can fix them, but needs to know what parts to order to do so.  They both boot up, play hucards fine, but when I put in a cd, they "click" once and nothing. I have some questions for this forum.

1. Is this just a lens issue or a cd motor issue?

2. I found this link on how to fix the lens.

Do I need more than this to fix what seems to be wrong with my units?

3. Is there any other great walkthrough sites that can help me with this issue? I appreicate all the help. Thanks, John

I've heard a lot about units where the lens assembly will get stuck, and all you need to do is get in there and push it out of its spot.  Apparently this happens when you play a lot of CDRs, but I don't really know about that.  This sounds like it could be your problem.
