adityarai2001, sounds like an issue with the laser. I would try to clean the laser with a professional clean kit first. You can also disassemble it by using these guides and clean it. If that does not work you most likely will have to try to replace the laser assembly.

If you have a multimeter check the ohms of the laser should be at 700 ohms or .700 k ohms make sure not to adjust the Focus pots
