Hello all
I purchased a Pioneer PD-S505 CD player as a non runner.
The symptoms are:
Turntable starts slowly and runs continuosly with no way of being able to stop it other than disconnecting the mains plug.
The carriage motor moves the mechanism to the outside of the disc, and if not shut off, will repeatedly bottom against the end stop.
The laser tries to focus, however there is no evidence of any beam. The lens is affixed to the laser assy (hasn't fallen out).
If put in Test Mode, the REW and FF buttons on the front panel move the carriage in the opposite directions, ie REW sees the carriage moving towards the outside of the disc.
The disc spins up without any button prompts. No other buttons are effective in Test Mode.
Voltages at test points look OK.
The tray switch and the INSD (inside switch) are both functioning.
Both carriage and spindle motors ar OK.
Any thoughts on this?
Cheers
