i wonder if anyone could help me with setting up my servo pcb i have tried to do one before and blew the lazor ! not wishing to repeat the exercise this time. i have just compleated a swap of numerious components from the main decoder/power supply pcb onto a better main board. So far i can raise/lower lid and have functions  and all the voltages +/_ .The servo pcb its the early version pcb running a hall effect lazor setup. I have an origional manual but i am not sure where to start regarding the servo setup "except the 1Kohm 4K7 i have set that ok. any help would be much appreaciated but it needs to be a sort of blow by blow account.

Were are you from Maurice?

Normally, the laser current is the only thing to adjust on the servo board - and that shouldn't be
touched unless replacing the laser diode itself.
Which type of capacitor did you mount in the laser output circuit C2103 ?
It needs to be a blue Philips to work.

Not some other planet "which i feel when trying to read wiring diagrams somtimes" ! LOL

May i ask why you ask?

Hi Martin i will check that out bout the philips cap and get back to you.

BTW when you sent the cassette belts did you send them to the email address at 3b B. Road? if they went to the paypal address at 10a C. road  i have goofed up.

As a Beoworld moderator, I took the liberty to edit your address' out.
No goofing, the belts will go to B. road as soon as time and the snow allows.

If you didn't replace C2103 I suggest you do so before testing (and eventually adjusting).
Mount a new blue Philips like the original.
You have an answer to your PM.
