CD 5500 CD tray and read issue - done the regular culprits

14 replies

470 nF perhaps?

Yes, 470nF ceramic. Sorry about that Martin, simple typo.

I think mine is a very early version, with a CDM2 transport and a 1987 date stamp on the tray motor.

The main cuircuit board is fragile, I managed to lift a track while soldering! Iron slightly too hot :s

I will take some pictures when I return home and give them an upload. I shall give the servo board some attention when I can.

If you reccommend the WIMA replacement, I will see about ordering one when I know it's a secure investment!

Thanks for your help so far!

Hello Sam

I'm experiencing in my CD 6500 the same behaviour you described but on top my CD spins backward.

I'm wondering if you finally found the cure? :)

Thanks
