REPAIR GUIDE - Laseractive NEC PAC-N1 / N10: Total capacitor replacement chart

[thesteve]

take the pac out
try to play a cd
the missing cd bios issue and no cd detected are different problems

[hardgb]

I have news. I tested the IC protectors on the power board support. All is continuous, except for one. The IC301 (N50), this has no continuity.
I also tested (out of curiosity) 2 IC Protector fuse in Main Board, N10. These 2 also lacks continuity.
In short, 1x N50 and 2x N10 burned. I believe that replacing these 3 IC Protector, will solve the CD reading problem.

Now with respect to not display the home screen of LaserActive. Anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?
Does the missing cd bios (eprom was damaged)?

[thesteve]

The fuses could be the whole problem
Note that fuses can cause the lens smoke as well

replace those fuse first. The blown fuse indicate good sign since they blown instead of other components in the boards fired.
Let me know if you need those fuse, I have plenty of them. As you know, it took a month to ship the stuff from Hong Kong to Brazil. Not sure it will be quicker to find them in your place.

I want rather the fuses. What value can you send me two of each fuse?

I can send you for free since they aren't expensive. Just sent
3 x icp-n50
5 x icp-n10
2 x icp-n20
2 x icp-n15
2 x icp-n25

These are all the ic protector models laseractive needed.
Make sure you replace the exact icp model and don't try to jump the wire to bypass the fuse before the fuse arrived.

Good luck.

Thank you so much.
I will wait for the arrival for testing.
Any news, I'll let you know.
Note: Is there a tracking number?

Thanks.

No tracking number since the registered airmail cost much more that the fuse itself

It does not matter. There will come for sure.
thank you again

Talked to Hardgb, those ic protectors fixed his laseractive cld-a100 

[choijimmy]

Update the solution(replace the crystal oscillator)  for Hucard game flicker screen after  recap the pac-n1

Nice!

By watching your youtube video, it looks like the loading time is a bit longer than usual.
Are you using cdr? if yes, you better burn the cdr with lowest speed eg, 8x
Also, you can adjust the pot to make it read better if you want
