These units are famous for having a bad ribbon cable, you might try verifying the black or possibly blue cable that bends as the drawer opens and closes. The repeated bending causes cracks in the end where it connects. ----- Original Message ----- From: wpt19@xxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 9:41 PM To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Aiwa compact stereo Model # CX-NAV900U Sure, remove the bridge >>ORIGINAL MESSAGE<< Hi techs, this stereo came in with the cd not working. I clean the lens on the pickup. after I did this it would just spin the disc as if it was going to play, then drop the disc while it is still spinning. I have replaced the pickup and now It is doing nothing. Can any one tell me what is the problem? Also the new pickup had a solder bridge on two points while the older one has these two points open. Do I remove this solder bridge? Thank You Junior Good luck, pete ***************************************** Help make your TechAssist online repair tips database better!
