Hello all again. Well i've had the supplier of the laser lens send me the correct one. I've installed it today and the cd now spins a few times but never plays the cd. After it spins it lifts up the cd clamp and say "load cd" I've cleaned the lens anything else I can try before taking the beosound apart again and sending the cd chassis to a specialist?

Hi bigbruggsy

5 years ago I was looking for laser replacement on my Ouverture.Found this one (all I remember,on chinese alibaba/aliexpress,can not trace sellers).

And it is working. Just compare label sticker with yours laser.

I've been trying the test modes to workout where the problem is and I have a general question about how the test modes. Is it possible to have the cd clamp open when doing the cd test? As I'm not sure having it open is compromising the test results. At the moment, I cant see if the laser is working (in focus test mode) am I meant to be able to see the laser light with a camera? The cd spindle doesnt spin, but the cd does spin twice when theres a cd in. With the cd clamp open the laser doesnt move up or down either.  Any ideas anyone?

Only if you disengage the mechanical metal pin. The pin connects the loading mechanism to the clamper at the back. The switch at the clamp unit senses the status and triggers the micro when open.

I have a Beosound 3200 which has developed exactly the same problem so it must be a relatively common problem - have you made a diagnosis yet?

Hello, I'm sorry, in the end I purchased a NEW CD chassis, rather than working out what was wrong with mine.
