been hearing this a lot this season "LX-5 for another motor replacement", so they know its a problem. they need to make a better motor for their analog units or it will burn them.
from what i have read, they will take care of you, but needing a new motor every year is no good. i would sell it when it comes back or keep it as a back up. i read they use PC compact disc drive motors that aren't meant to be on as long as we use our finders.
good luck, let us know how they treat you please.
