- Have this Onyko CD player for 4 yrs and it recently started to say
- "No disk" even when there's one in. The first time it happened, I
- sort of wiggled the sliding disc-holding cartridge and the problem
- went away. The same cure did nothing though last week when the
- problem arose the second time. So i opened the thing and found the
- disc wasn't spinning after the cartridge moved in. After cleaning up
- dust and turning the spinning motor (not the track reading motor that
- moves the laser) a few rounds, the disc spins again.
- BUT NOW, the thing will take from 2 minutes to an indefinite
- amount of time to find the 1st track (although the initial # of tracks
- & time info was displayed), if it finds it at all. Other symptoms
- include:
-
- 1. it has not find any subsequent tracks (on a number of disks)
- 2. if it finds the first track, then it will continue to play the other
- tracks normally
- 3. can use fast reverse & fast forward (FR & FF) but not next or last
- tracks - however, during FR & FF the sounds were very different
- from before
-
- I sort of think some misalignment between the spinning motor & the laser
- has occured so the servo mechanism cannot operate (the reading motor is
- working), but manually aligning and twisting any corners did not help.
-
- Any clues from you audio gurus out there ?
-
- Thanks much in advance
