Great post. Thanks! Please post your favorite online stores to order replacement lasers for your cx7000es. I have two. One got a new laser and is still working great. The other one got a new laser but it stopped working. Then I swapped in the laser from my test bed BDP-S360 player. This player was working great but after putting its laser in my cx7000es, it plays CDs and DVDs solidly but only very rarely plays a blu-ray. The interesting thing is that it can keep playing a blu ray for hours only to call it an invalid disc when loading the same disc in the same slot on another occasion.
