Oppo long ago stopped offering repair services. I think they still respond to emails about issues with the players but basically owners are on their own.
Oppo parts had a sale so I bought a disc loader and power supply (already have a laser) for my 205-$200 delivered. I figure I can find a shop to service it when the times comes. I have links to service manuals etc. Might even try it myself!
Alas, I also suffer from this syndrome and my wife is adept at requesting I play a particular cd whose location is unknown. My solution: when I locate the cd, rip it onto my external drive that plugs directly into my Oppo 205 and while I don't particularly like the filing system the player utilizes, locating a cd now takes seconds and all is well.
