Basic CD player in a micro music centre
No movements or laser light , totally dead CD player. Just -- in the
display. Function sw and door latch sw ok. Plenty of 5V etc supplies around on the chippery. Crystal and ceramic resonator have oscillation. All 4 channel motor/focus driver o/p at 3.8V, all 4 inputs at 2.1V, disable is set off ie operational. Pressing all sm chip leads , no change Swapping laser and carrier/motors section with another one laying around, the same zilch. No dodgy electrolytics. Is there something obvious I'm overlooking ? Not worth spending a lot of time on but a good customer for other stuff. -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ |

Not worth spending a lot of time on but a good customer for other stuff. Can't think of anything that you seem to be overlooking. First place I would have gone is the same as you - to the door switch. Even though the switch is working ok in itself, I would still feel inclined to make sure that its connections are making it all the way back to the micro, and doing something ie pulling a pin to ground or whatever. I've had internal pull-up resistors on micro pins fail. The only other thing that it's worth doing when all else has failed, and you've given up, is to try a possible 'real' system reset, by holding in the power button and applying power, and if that fails, a 'naughty' engineer's reset, by turning off and removing power, then hooking a croc lead to ground, and stroking round every pin of every 'micro-ish' IC both on the front panel, and the CD process board. I've known this to restore screwed up system controls on a number of occasions. I got it originally from a manufacturer's training course, but so far back in the dim mists of time, I can't remember which one now ... Arfa |
