I lubricated the rails and cleaned the gears, and that really reset things (they must have been adding some resistance to read operations). Luckily I went back and got everything working again. It's down to a low hiss that's not really detectable against the background/ambient noise of the room.

So far so good.

edit: thanks Keith Courage for the VR104 tip. That got it quiet.

edit: Oddly enough, there's a slight tradeoff between it being quiet and load speeds during track changes. Is that my imagination? I prefer quiet to load speed.

There is a trade off if you set it too quiet
It also makes it less vibration sensitive

Good morning,
I followed the work carefully.

I tested the voltages that occur on the moteus, optical block. Everything seems ok
I make a cap head kit.

When I press run on the screen tells me "just a moment" and nothing else happens
Red led does not light

I have the impression that there is a command does not arrive at a component

I found the values in OHM

Vr101 = 12.56 kohm
Vr102 = 968 ohm
Vr103 = 3.22 kohm
Vr104 = 4.66 kohm
Vr105 = 2.13 kohm

If you have an idea???

Thank you for your help

 * Do you see a laser coming from the lens? (My R199 was bad)
 * Does it try to focus the laser (move up and down)? (One of my BA6290 chips was dead)

For me, each of those was a separate problem.

Hey
I do not have a laser beam
I replaced 2 6290. nothing has changed
I also changed the lens. Nothing has changed

I measured the resistance that gives me 4.67k

Is it the right value?
What is the component that activates the cd?

the LED not lighting is your first clue
odds are its also not reading the lid switch
look for a missing signal to IC501

I can not find the datasheet for ic501 (NEC D91317GD)

Have you ??

What pine I have to do the test ????

Thank you for your help

search it on this forum, i posted a pin list
