Hi all
Normally when I fix a cd player, I change the laser, and all is great afterwards, have not had anyone of the ones I changed, not work after some time, as suggested by some people.
The discussion is that the caps on the servo board is the main cause of problems with the lasers in the different units. It sounds plausible, but I have not been able to get one of the many drives I have fixed (both the ones that doesn't read at all, and the ones that read 80% of the times) back to life by just changing caps. Have done CDM4 mostly..
In my livingroom I have a Beosound 3000 which reads cd's "most of the time", so I decided that I will try to fix this by changing caps, and see what happens :)
So I dissasembled the unit, but unfortunatelly there are a lot more caps that I remembered :) Has anyone tried to fix the CDPro2 by changing caps, and know which of the caps(all 47u 16v smd) are mostly responsible for the "cannot read error". I have 4 new caps(I know I will need to change them all, but cannot get anymore here between xmas and new years) but it would be fun to see if by changing 4 "essential" caps, the unit could read better again ?

Oh well...
Got a hold of some 47u16v SMD caps, changed all of them, still having trouble reading cd's. Nothing has changed at all, so I guess that it is not always caps that are the issue. Apparently the lasers themselves die on us..
