Pioneer Elite CLD-79 Problem

Archived from groups: alt.video.laserdisc (More info?)

If you are getting a clicking sound then the pickup lost the ability to
focus on the LD. The click is the laser lens moving up and hitting the LD
then dropping down and then raising up again. As it moves up and down it is
supposed to focus on the LD layer but is having problems. This is usually a
pickup failure but can be the electronics.

The clicking noise stopped. Everything else is working fine except when it
tries to play a disc it shutts off and displays "VU". It's identifying the cd
and ld discs just fine, but like I said it shutts off when trying to play them.
Is there someone you can recommend that would be able to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.
