That "wood trim" is not original.
Stuck on by a previous owner, I should think.

Well done on the repair.

Hello Hamacbleu,

Thank you so much for the tips on repairing my Beogram CDX I've own since '86. It stop working in around '98 and haven't used since now. I used my soldering iron on all the griplets with a little silver solder and I couldn't believe it. Thanks so much.

Hi Gary,

Congrats on your repair. And thanks bringing me back those nice memories of my 1st successful B&O repair. Mine still plays flawlessly after 4 years, thanks to the resources and supportive people of this forum. The CDX is the most beautiful CD player ever. Hope yours will also bring you years of nice music.

Hi,

There's a nice article by Tim about the CDX in the November issue of Hifi News & RR. Enjoy!

Heelo,

 

I have the same problem with a cd-x I recently bought.

So I started to resolder all the connection but it still won't work. Measured connections and they are all good. So far my knowledge off electronic reaches so i am out of options.

Any other ideas?

 

Hi,

Many things can go wrong. Trouble is, if you don’t have basic electronic knowledge, you will stall here.

Several ICs are prone to failure, then transistors, regulators... and perhaps capacitors too. I think I’ve had them all on these players (CD104 mould).

The RAFOC very seldom gives up the ghost.

Are you able to read a service manual?

A CDX is a wonderful cd player from B&O and they do come with a need for service due to age at some point in their lives. 

Mine was a basket case with a broken left hinge but thanks to this forum and Dillen it got saved and most likely still works and plays beautifully today.

I agree with Chartz is that could be a lot of different small things causing faults and it is down to the induvidual CDX but most of the time once trouble starts thats when the need for service is called for.
