In Reply to: A typical laser diode used in such a player... posted by krisjan on February 19, 2015 at 08:51:18:
Having the player on all day every day does not power the laser. That is engaged only when the player is reading a disc. You have the S2, which has an upgraded laser from the S1 which I have. I believe Marantz recognized the mistake they made using such an unreliable mechanism in the S1 and quickly issued the upgraded S2. But where did you get the 50k hour figure from? The laser does eventually wear out, and when it does, nothing will make it work properly again other than replacement.
How does the lens get dirty? It's in a small, enclosed space, usually with a rapidly spinning disc very near it. Unless the disc is filthy or the atmosphere thick with smoke, I don't understand the lens getting dirty. The rails might need a bit of cleaning after thousands of hours of operation, but they should be self-cleaned just by movement of the sled as it is very tight tolerance fit. Messing with it might cause more harm than good.
