Shigaclone MKII Black - The builders Thread

Any idea of parameters of missing elements on IR remote ?

Shiga is such a bitch... after I posted my MKI for sale all of sudden my MKII stopped working. No more TOC. Well.. luckily there was only a few possibilities this could be the cause. First I thought it might be a big failure. Thus I measured everything but all was fine. Then I switched the 16p Cable - of course nothing. At last I switched laser unit (wanted to prevent that cause its the modified laser with MKP and Mica) and... oh wonder, instant TOC. Now I just need to get the sporadious reading failures... need to play with the trim POT on laser.... luckily it's working as before
 
Hi Tbi n all.


Been a while I owned the Shiga set and only to continue the project now. Come across some problems. No detection or track even I changed 4 spare ones. I can't confirm some had spoit, but one surely function which I removed from Boom box. When I swtich on, The motor spin a few times, display blink and end result is 00.

What had I done? Thinking the LCD ribbon is detachable but I had destroy the red (holder?) . I also re solder the button pcb was planning to mount it somewhere initially. I also test all connection using multimeter and all seems good.

Please advice what should I do next to get it start function well. Thanks in advance.


Regards,

Alfred

No TOC is usually no problem of the ribbon cable. First thing I would do is to switch transport (laser unit or complete SP101 if you cannot switch laser) itself. If still ko TOC change the 16 Pin FPC cable. If that doesnt help, we will talk again. Then we need to verify other problems (first of all 5V rails and PSU 8V +-50-100mV).
 
Hi all.

While waiting for the FPC to arrive, I tried swapping the current FPC and lx4 lens to boom box set. All 4 lens at least can read the no. Of tracks altough can't play. Seems not really the fault. I measure dc shows 7.96v. Any thing I should look into?

Shiga mkii

Spin when switch on. Lens move a bit, then shows 00. All but no reaction except - cd door - after I press stop, spin and lens move abit. Then 00. (u cant hear the lens reading.)

Boom box set

Spin when switch on. Lens move more, then shows track. All button no reaction. (u can hear the lens reading).

Both using same FPC and lens swap.
