BeoSound 3000 CD player problem

[JGJ]

My CD player spins for approx 2 sec and stop. Any suggestion what to do

Hi and welcome to Beoworld!

There seem to be lots of CD player problems on Beoworld at the moment – all with very similar era equipment with what may well be the same CD player components.  All have the linear (rather than curved) tracking laser head, moving in a straight line across the radius of the CD.

Have a look at this thread for ideas: https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/beosound-ouverture-cd-not-working/

… but the four areas I would probably look for a solution are:

• Running the built in Test Modes to see if that ‘frees up’ the CD mechanism (focus and/or tracking) – this worked for me with a BeoSound 1.  Test Modes are listed in the Service Manual.
• Deep clean of the laser – advice is given elsewhere on the forum.
• Replacement of SMD capacitors on CD driver PCB.
• Replacement of laser (last resort?).

(I am going to repeat this post in another very similar thread, about a BC9300!)

Hi

I have exactly the same issue on a Beosound 1. It seems to be the same optical unit (VAU1255)

Cleaning the lens and the mirror made the situation even worse (shouldn’t have used Isopropyl Alcohol ?)

Found an optical unit at a reasonnable price on Amazon, should receive it next week

If you want the link I can send it to you in MP
