Finally fixed the CD skipping on my Beosound 2300, and I’m embarrassed to say it was simpler than I thought: dried or non-existant grease on the transport rails. Drove me crazy because the skip happened at a very certain point on a CD, down to the second each time. So I thought it was a scratch in the CD — but a new copy of that same CD skipped in nearly the same place. Obviously it was that particular area of the rail that was either blocked by gunk or too dry.
Oh well, I got a CDM12 controller board re-cap out of it… (and all these SMD’s seen below tested within spec after removal, of course! 🙂
