Mini CD/Tuner/Cassette - displays 'er' when cd inserted
HI All
As a life-long 'tinkerer' with electronics - I do hate to see a piece of kit that's potentially usable go into the landfill. I was given this mini-hi-fi unit - Goodmans - MS188 Nothing exotic, flip-up CD on top, radio, then Cassette at the bottom. When first tested - no joy on the CD - might play for a little bit - but then stopped and showed 'er' on the 7-segment display. As part of the 'moving house, do I really need to keep it' process g - brought the unit inside, fed it a cd - and it ran quite happily. Left it running overnight - and in the morning it's showing the same 'er' fault again. When a CD is inserted and the lid closed, the CD spins up to speed, but I can't hear any 'positioning' noise before I get the 'er' display. Strangely, I've just one to the machine which was switched off overnight - and it powers up and plays (the same CD) without any problem.... I know there's quite a bit in the FAQ about CD players - but, to be honest, I don't really understand the details..... Any suggestions for those with much more knowledge than me - things that can be easily tested... or am I wasting my time and should I just get rid of the thing ? (Kind of like admitting defeat !) Many thanks in advance Adrian - Suffolk UK |
