Hello,

 

Today i picked up a good working (i see) Beogram CD 5500 from Germany.

When i come home i open the cover and clean the laser with a tip and alcohol 96% (do this more than 20 years with no problem)

Also i remove dust from the pcb with contact spray.

I set the player to my set and now it does not play anymore :(

the cd load and the cd spin and i check the red laser light but the player goes back in standby.

any suggestions?

I hear the motor a little bit growl.

 

But i drive more than a hour. maybe wait that everything is on correct temp?

Replace capacitors on the servo board.
Check the main board for cracked solder joints, particularly at the connectors and the voltage regulators.
