CDM-4/19 running at warpspeed

[Pharao.Pharao]

Hi,

the CDM-4/19 of my Philips CD780/00R player runs at warm speed when I turn on the power switch of the player. Since I don´t have any service manual neither of the player itself nor of the CDM-4/19, can anybody here please advise where and how to start debugging?

Thanks a mil in advance!

Hi P,


If there is a SAA7220 or a SAA7345 in the player, than probably this is the culprit of the spinning CD.


Best regards,

Hi there,

there is a SAA7220P/A and a SAA7210P in the player... . How to best diagnose whether the SAA7220P/A is the culprit one for the warp speed? I mean, I have just the datasheet of the SAA7220 in front of me and am looking for best practice diagnosis.

Thanks a mil again,
P.

From my digital guru:

"Tell this guy to check the '7220 for proper operation. It has the clock,
and if that chip does not work, the platter spins at warp speed."

Look first at the TCA0372. If this are blown/shorted the CD will spin non stop.

Check ALL supplies first to all I/C,s. Might be a safety resistor gone high.

@Mooly: All supplies to all ICs look good. I am just done with measuring. Even all resistors look OK to me.

@Predator864: There is a TCA0372DP2 (Motorola) on the board. I even have the datasheet and started measuring. Hmm.. question: Would the CD spin counter-clockwise at overspeed when this TCA0372DP2 is blown/shorted?

@SY: The SAA7220 is absolutely OK from what I measured. And the SAA7110 shows a fixed 88.19 kHz signal on Pin 17 (MSC). This is good news, right?

@All: If anybody could share the Service Manual for the Philips CD780/00R with me, I could continue much more systematically. Your help is highly appreciated!

Any more hints on how to continue a bit more systematically? I would like to track down the 88.19 kHz signal from Pin 17 (MSC) of the SAA7220 a bit further, but I don´t have any schematic of the PCB of the CD player, so I am a bit lost at this moment. Any advice you could give, please?

I blown a TCA0372 while measuring it. Then the CD began spinning like a madman.

 

[Pharao.Pharao]

@Predator864: Did the CD start spinning counter-clockwise after the TCA0372 was blown?

 

[electronic]

I dont know. Scared the crap out of me and unplugged it immediately.
I can clearly remember by shorting two pins of the IC the CD would spin in a direction, but again I dont know if it is CW or CCW.

 

[Pharao.Pharao]

Ok, thanks, Predator864. I have just ordered the service manual for the CD780/00R, but I am still missing a service manual for the CDM-4/19 drive. Anyone here willing to share it with me? Thanks in advance.

The CD Player Service Manual also contains the CDM4 diagnostics.

 

[Pharao.Pharao]

Ok, thanks for this info!

Meanwhile I believe it would be best to start measuring at the flexband where it connects to the main PCB of the player. The reason for my assumption is that the V_DD of the TCA0372 drops from 5.6V to 4.5V whenever I connect the flexband of the CDM-4/19 to the main PCB. No good sign I believe.

Well, does anyone here own a service manual for the CDM-4/19 which he/she can share with me, please? I think it only makes sense continue measuring when I have understood how the speed control mechanism of the CDM-4/19 actually works. I mean, since the spindle motor is only connected with 2 wires, I assume the laser recognizes the RPM of the turntable and sends back that "tachometer" signal to the main PCB. And, to further understand that mechanism, a service manual for the CDM-4/19 would suit best now. Can anyone share, please? The service manual for the whole player (CD780/00R from Philips) is already ordered by me, but no service manual for the CDM-4/19 was available. And I assume Philips will not fully cover the CDM-4/19 in the service manual of the CD780/00R.

Thanks m8s for your help,
