I bought this CD player second hand because I loved the looks and I knew that it wasn't always reading all the CD's. However, one day it completely stopped reading any CD's. After reading on many forums people were suggesting to clean to lenses. I did that, many times without fixing the problem.
I wanted to sell it after that because I was thinking somebody will buy it and fix it. It didn't happen.
So what to do? I spent some time online and ordered some parts from China. Replaced the complete CD transport and now it plays again like it's new!
Some photos of the process. See all the way below instructions;
There is only one important point to note. The laser as supplied new has
a solder link in place to protect the it from static electricity
damage. You need to remove this small link with a soldering iron
or knife. This is shown in the last picture of this listing. It is to
the left of the connector on the laser.
1.Since the laser diode of this parts assembly is treated to prevent
itself from electrostatic breakdown,make sure to remove the solder.
2.Solder iron must use the thing static electricity.
3.Do not shock.
4.Do not touch lens by hands.
5.Do not touch any adjustable parts since they have been adjusted at
the factory
It works great! Very happy with the repair.
