Elberoth2 is correct. I am US service manager for dCS and our P8i and Verdi Encore were also units left without parts for the same Philips Mechanism's.
The Philips 5.2 Mech is a universal CD/SACD/DVD mechanism that is totally proprietary with its own Servo Controller board. The motor driver IC's get smoked when the Chinese disc drive motors short out.
The only good news is that the lasers=OPU(Optical Pickup Units) are still available for those fortunate to have only a vision problem with good motors and good drive electronics! We also can repair about 50% of servo boards.
We are successful repairing these dCS units within parts limits.
