GO Video DVD player update
I posted asking about the new defective go video dvd players . These had
a 02 date on them . I collected 5 of these 2 still new in box none would read any disks . I got one working by turnin up the trimmer on the lazer assembly . I then removed the lazer assembly from the other 4 players & tried them in the working player ... all 4 failed till i turned up the trimmer .. one totaly failed 3 worked . I then took the remaining 4 players and tried a working lazer in them and all 4 players failed . I checked ( ESR ) capacitors in the power supplys and found over half of them a tiny bit low on the tester . 2 of the capacitors run very hot no mater if they are new ones instaled . What junk ! |

GO Video DVD player update
These are of bad design. I would scrap the complete idea of handling or
even servicing these. Your players are having failing lasers, if you had to turn up the laser gain to fix them. The laser failure rate will be higher with more bias current. The ones that are working will soon be back if this is the case. -- Greetings, Jerry Greenberg GLG Technologies GLG ========================================= WebPage http://www.zoom-one.com Electronics http://www.zoom-one.com/electron.htm ========================================= "Ken G." wrote in message ...
