Well, that didn’t work! On replacing the pickup, and attempting to play a CD, the spindle motor did spin up this time, but my hopes were short lived. After a second or two, the spindle motor stopped, and the CD clamp opened. Placed the unit into Test Mode. It initially gave an error 7 on pressing CD, but now repeatedly gives an error 3. I removed & checked all the connections, but error 3 it is.

That’s a shame – do you plan to replace the servo board capacitors next?

(My BC2300 CD fix had similar results – it worked for a short  while when I replaced just the laser, but had to replace caps for a permanent solution)
