Hi,
I have to make a CD-Transporter work again, and unfortunately i´m struggling.
Its a dpa "enlightement drive", based on a Philips VAM 1202/12 Pickup/Drive.
The issue is, when a CD is about to load, the lense is moving up and down 3 times, but it wont read (Error).
I already replaced the pickup with a new one, and sometimes it works, CD gets recognised and read.
it seems to help to give the upper clamp (which is magnetic) a little push with the finger (not a spin, just a push) while its trying to read-out, then it starts sometimes
Maybe its a problem with the clamp? lost magnetisation over the years? i put an extra little neodym disc magnet on it, didnt help.
The drive is rubber-mounted, as you can see in the picture.
Do you have any ideas?
thank you, Daniel
