Hi,
my Micromega Stage 3 was not able to read any CD anymore (message "no disc").
I've replaced the laser pickup, a Philips CDM 12.4, but the only result I've got is a new "err" message.
There is perhaps a solder joint to be voided or restored?
I've looked closely at the old pickup but I don't seem to see any...
As usual, thx a lot in advance for any helping hand

The lens will return to the disc centre, the laser will light and try to acheive focus. When focus is acheived, the disc will then spin up to full speed and the TOC should appear on your display.
Which part is it getting stuck on as that is your fault.
If the assembly came through amazun or fleabay, it is probably faulty or a factory reject.
Put the old one back in to check your system against damage.

Thanks so much for your reply.
In fact, the lens goes to the disc centre, the laser lights and does achieve focus, the disc goes to full speed and the "Err" message unfortunately appears on the display...
I've also re-installed the old one: the lens assembly goes to the center, the laser lights and tries to get the focus, the disc does not start spinning and the message "no disc" is displayed
I've bought the pickup on ebay, like I did more than once in the past with no problem. But in the other cases, I've had to open a solder joint
