sony 200 disc changer doesn't see disc
If u need the model number for the 200 disc changer I will get it,
don't think u will though. I installed a new laser sled asembly. It seems to be balanced. It is spinning fast and not touching anything. I have the 2 ribbon cables snug in place. It says something like "please insert disc" on TV while disc is spinning. Disc is in the right way. ANy suggestions? jd |

I can I'm sure guess pretty close. I saved the old asembly and the 2 lasers look the same. I think I remember taking something off of the laser, but it would have been something that was real noticeable. Please start simple as u did, because this most likely has something to do with my installation. thnx JVC dude. |

As someone else suggested, there should be a protective solder "blob" somewhere on the pickup pc board, cable, or in the case of some later Sony models I've seen, the solder blob which must be cleared is on the little board on the side of the mech where the cables take off to the main unit. Visible from the TOP side. In fact, it should be unsoldered AFTER plugged into the circuit. Mark Z. |

The only place I can see that has a blob is actually on the ribbon cable as it comes off of laser. The blob only covers 1 line. Is that the problem? I looked on the old one and the place where the blob was is flat, but u can tell there was one there. So, do I need to find a short solder guy at this point? lol. Never done it, so... I got a friend in electronics, so I am going to give him a call at this point, but please post anything else plus thank you for getting me in the right direction. I will post with an update as well. jd |

I will post with an update as well. jd can someone affirm that this is the place that needs to be soldered. It says the unit has to be installed, so I have to turn the entire box to get to where the blob will drip down? Can I just hook up the ribbon cables, not mount the entire sled, remove the blob, unhook the cables, then mount. Or can u not unhook the cables once the blob is removed? thnx again |

cables, not mount the entire sled, remove the blob, unhook the cables, then mount. Or can u not unhook the cables once the blob is removed? thnx again It's best, but not absolutely necessary to unsolder the protective solder pads while they're plugged into the circuit. (The player of course is unplugged from the wall!) Ideally, if you need to unplug the flat cables, the solder pads should be resoldered. Some players are not designed quite so intelligently, and the solder must be removed prior to installing the pickup. A anti-static strap comes in handy for this. It's another technician aid - most of us have one but don't use it that often. Mark Z. |

Woo hoo !!!!!!!!!!
Done and done. Thank you so much everyone for all of ur help. I would have never of figured that one out on my own. I was able to remove blob with it mounted and everything. I thought it was going to be hard to reach, but it wasn't. Awesome.....works like a charm. Thanx again, jd |
