NEC PCE-LD1 LaserActive fault :/

[gojira1954]

A friend of mine bought one of these units recently - I've recapped the MD & PCE packs.
Initially the unit had an LD stuck inside, after power cycling the player a few times it decided to eject of it's own accord... both paks worked OK during brief testing.
After recapping the paks I again briefly tested them - both OK.
I started to play through SNATCHER and after 10 mins the standby light started rapidly blinking between orange/green and video/audio goes off :/
I tried the MD pak and same thing happened after 10mins :/ :/
Any help to try and fix appreciated...

Does it do it with cartridges and laserdiscs as well?

Good call ;)
Same thing happens, after ~10 mins goes into blinking death :/
The LD tray wouldn't recognise the LD a couple of times..  fault is not with the paks I guess

It sounds like something in the CLD-A100.  I would check the belts and then voltages in the power supply

Stand by light?
Never knew it had one

So it does
Never hit power on the remote before

Don't see anything related to fault indication, so I second check your voltages

How about the light of the ld/cd eject buttons?  Are they off  when problem happened?

I tried it out again tonight - played through 2 discs both sides without going into fault :s
Old CD tech is so flaky :/
