CD5500 Philips C2103 Capacitor

[H71BCD]

Hi. This post may also be in the general section however if anyone catches this one over the next few days then please assist –

CD5500 no longer playing. Will have a go at changing the Philips C2103 capacitor however a couple of questions:

1. Is there a recommended replacement capacitor.
2. Is there any soldering involved.
3. Any advice with removing the top cover to access the internals.

Thanks.

1. Kit here.
2. Yes. And it must be done in an ESD-safe environment.
3. The service manual will tell you how.

I have aBeogram CD 6500 where this procedure (replacement of this cap.) did work.

However, the symptom was that it did not play an original CD at once. If it was running vor ~10-20 minutes, being on temperature, playing a CD worked, sometimes only the latter tracks. This led me to the assumption that this cap.issue could indeed be the problem, and I was right.

Otherwise a major service may be necessary, but there I am no expert – like Dillen… 😉

Best regards !

Thanks everyone for your assistance.

It has been in the same family from new and so will be great to get the cd player operational again. Everything else works just fine and I hope there will be many years of future use.

Sorry H71BCD, you have no choice. This wonderful complete set MUST be cared for :-).
