Mine too. been getting bad for several weeks now. The gear on the motor that runs the laser carriage has probably split (I know mine has) so when the split section,(which now has more space between 2 of it's teeth than it can tolerate) comes around to the other gear, it jams up and that is likely the reason you have a flashing green light. The laser can't track correctly, if it can move at all. I hate to throw away the player for a 10 cent part, but have had NO LUCK finding the tiny gear as yet. I'm gonna open some internal dvd players that someone threw away with the rest of their computer and see if that works. Bet a lot of these will be heading for the landfill soon, as more gears give up the ghost.
I just noticed that you posted on the 15th, probably right when I was disemboweling my player to see what was up. Could these things be electronic lemmings? :P
