So I'm back with an update on my super score .. From the past four days I have tested my Tg16 cd player with different burned iso images, these are the results .. The first day it fired right up from a 15 plus year nap with no problems .. The second day it wouldn't spin so I opened it up and moved the little gears where the motor is to move the laser, assembled it and it worked fine .. The third day It worked fine in the morning .. Later that day I tried it out it wouldn't spin again, I didn't open it up again quite yet and tried out a original music cd and it worked fine with that .. In fact I tried several disc original and copied, all worked fine but would not read any of my iso's anymore .. So I opened it up wiped the the gears off and lubed them up very lightly with some tri flow lubricant .. Reassembled it again and nothing same thing as last, it only played my music cd's .. The fourth day which is today I opened it up to check the gears to see if they were stuck, they seemed fine so I decided to try my best to wipe off the gears to make sure they were not all wet with lubricant and and used a sowing needle to clean off the dried/wet lubricant and grease that was on the brass colored long gear .. It had very little gunk but never the less it was dirty .. Reassembled it and tried it out, this time it worked again with my burned iso images .. I tried tapping lightly on the sides to make it skip to see if it would go back to the song it was playing .. It did but made a weird sound, tried it again and the audio track got stuck .. So I skipped to the next song and it continued to work fine .. Right now I'm letting it play through all the audio tracks for Lords Of Thunder from track 1 to 24 .. It started skipping on track 17 so I skipped to 18 and that played fine skipped back to 17 and it worked fine for a bit and started skipping again .. It seems from track 17 to 24 it has problems with skipping ..
Is their someone I could send it to ?? So I can have it fully serviced and tuned ?? I would do it myself, but theirs so much going on in that little Tg16 cd player with cables that need to be unplugged and ground cables that need to be unsoldered, then theirs disassembling the laser assembly .. I just don't feel comfortable messing with it .. It would be a damn shame if I screwed it up over the lack of experience and knowledge on Tg16 cd repairs .. Any help out their ??
