qha_vn Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 my CD changer recently failed to play some CDs, sometimes it can play, sometimes it can not when I tried to change from 1 dish to another. sometimes i could not get the cartridge out of the changer. i removed the changer, disassembled it the finally managed to identify and fix the problem. it was becasue of some worn teeth in the mechanism that actually moves the dishes in and out of the CD optical head. I put a plastic strip in between the back of the worn teeth and the steel pole dont really have enough time to write up a tutor, but if someone has the same issue and want to fix by himself, i will try to post some more pix up pic 1 shows where the plastic strip is, i use AB adhesive to position it there pic 2 is after the electric motor is put in pic 3 everthing is in place enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qha_vn Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 first thing, mine is 1990 ls400 pioneer cd changer, make sure you have the same or at least similar if you have the same as mine then can you eject the cd cartridge? and when you get err message on the cd player display say on dish 1 can you select dish 2? (you may get same "err" message, but this will ensure you have had the saem problem as mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
