Introduction
The laser in your Sony DVP-FX730 sends the DVD’s data to the lens, so that it can be translated into audio and video signals. If the device is having difficulty reading the disc, first check that it’s not due to a dirty or scratched disc. If the disc looks good, then the issue may be from a faulty or damaged laser. This guide offers step-by-step instructions for removing the laser, so that it can be replaced. All tools used in this guide are available from the IFIXIT website.
