Time to buy new ...or repair?
My Panasonic A120 (not even 2 years old yet)
is freezing up and skipping uncontrollably.
I bought it for less than 300 bucks...but now I'm thinking I should just get a new player and not get it fixed.
ANy opinions?
It's not under warranty anymore... will Bestbuy or some other store service a product that I bought online? How much are they likely to charge?
any advice would be appreciated.

Have you tried cleaning the lens?
You're going to be better off to pick up a new player rather than repairing this older model.
You might want to consider grabbing the Amazon Pioneer 343 $135 deal. Here is the link to the post in the other bargains forum:

hey !!!
Hey !!
don't you post at AOD too ?
I would prefer to get the Panasonic RV31-K though...
a little more...but it looks better.
But it's another dang Panasonic...don't want to get burned again.
I dunno...have to think about it...

A lot of people like the Panasonic RV31-K. It's also a nice player. Do a search in this forum and you can read a lot of positive reviews.
If I remember correctly, it will play mp3 while the Pioneer does not.

Don't repair them! I had two, both went within a month of each other, I had to pay labor, both of the lasers. Cost me about $120 each. After getting them back, both died the same way in another 6 months time.
BTW, this was about 1 1/2 years ago.
