Glenn, thanks for the reply but there is no white flexible harness that I can find, the only two connections to this rotating assy are the brown or gold flex cables, one to the laser assy and one to the main board. We did replace the one to the main board. I think I have determined that something is broken, I found a piece of black plastic in the unit but have not found where it came from. Also the assembly that flips the laser p/u assy from side A to side B is free to move around, doesn't lock in place at all. That does not seem right. Any chance you may have an exploded view of this section you could fax, or a PDF that you could email?

It should be white in colour and they are a problem for intermittent play etc. HTH Glenn Larkman Audiotech 256 Nth Hwy 101 ENCINITAS CA 92024 760 944 9048 FAX 944 0345 mail to"mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" "www.audiotech.net" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Myers" <jr.myers@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "TechAssist" <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 12:57 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Pioneer CLD-V850 locks up and won't play or open Hi techs, I hope someone is experienced on these units and may know what to try. The unit will play through both sides of a laser disk a couple of times then it locks up and won't play or open, When LD or CD open/close is pressed the leds in the buttons flash. The laser pickup assy is not fully home and after letting the unit sit awhile then moving the pickup assy by hand and turning power on it will then work ok until the next time it locks up. The switch on back of the pickup assy has been replaced. Any help or suggestions will be welcome.
