Hello!
All of a sudden, my Beogram CDX started to behave strangely. This morning when I wanted to play a CD the sound was all hiss distortion and spitting, all to a very high level, much higher than when it plays music normally. I switched it off, on again, same problem. Off-On again and it worked normally.
Any clues please?

...but of course it was never explained. Please everyone when you solve a problem—or not—tell the community!

They are strange, those CDX´s, aren’t they? When I use mine, after the lid has closed, I have to gently put my hand on the left side of the lid. Otherwise it wont start…

Oh, that!
Easy to fix and well explained in the service manual. The lid height must be slightly off, or the rubber damping pads were changed for higher ones?
Yes! Thank You! That can almost be a funny exercise but it must wait until tomorrow evening.
I also saw that there was a quick guide how to replace surface mounted components in the same manual! That have to wait a little bit longer!
Thanks again!
Hi:Looks like the capacitors are going.
CDX runs at very high temperature. It was also very old unit so the caps have been cooking for a long time, particularly in the power supply section.
Best to recap the whole thing.

I once had the same experience...but then I realized that I had loaded a CD with 'Motörhead' ...
But, seriously - it's probably some capacitor problems, as mentioned above. I think it has been discussed here on Beoworld earlier. Try searching 'CDX' in the old forum. I don't have the time now - but if I find the link, I'll post it here.
Rivet vias !They provide ground connection to a lot of circuits on the boards and if ground connection fails the affected circuit literallyfloats around out of control. Some of the circuits are DAC and audio amplifiers and they can easily show thesesymptoms if not properly grounded.

Hi Martin!
Mmmm... I must have forgotten one or two then!
I'll do that when the CD50 motor is done.
Thanks!
