Default Any experience with a Mark Levinson ML390S CD player?

My buddy has a Mark Levinson ML390S which after a few back and forth journeys across the Atlantic only gives error messages when he inserts a CD. Seems to be a typical issue with this unit.

What he knows is that it uses Phillips Lasers and Hartman charges a minimum of $1,000 to look at and diagnose/repair the unit unless the repairs exceed that amount...

My question is:

-- does anyone have experience replacing one of these lasers?
-- is it best to buy a full 'assembly' or can you just replace the laser?
-- are there difficulties 'aligning' the laser if we only buy that part?

TIA

Craig
