BeoSound 3000 CD won’t play

[PaulE54]

Hi.

B&O newbie here, it’s my sister in law who has a BeoSound 3000, think it’s the later model as it has a pin. Being a bit technical I’ve been “volunteered” to help. CD won’t play, spins up but then stops in a second or two.

I’ve managed to get into the test mode and scrolled through the errors, CD is showing error 7 which I understand means “subcode could not be read within time limit”. I’ve cleared the errors and powered it off and on again, the fault is still present. Any helpful hints would be much appreciated.

I’m technical enough to change the laser if needed, but I’d rather not go swapping bits without a better idea of what the likely fault is!

Thanks

I would suggest cleaning the laser lens and the mirror. You need to open the lens to do this. There is a video in the thread Fixing Beosound 9000 laser.

Hi Filip and thanks for that advice. I’ll look up that video. It may be a few weeks before I get round to this, I’ll report back.

Best wishes
