Hi Kaosun Master,
I have a SL-XP5, it can read TOC of CDR, but it won’t play the track in horizon. If it is hold on vertical, it can play it week. I tried to open the motor (it is brushless) and add in some oil into it, but it seen not getting better. Do you have any advise? Thanks.

4 lens steel strings are aging. You can take out the laser and place it upside down, face the lens toward ground. Using a soldering iron to de-solder the 4 solder points one by one. Therefore, the lens will be lift a little bit. During de-soldering, do not touch the lens.

Do i need to open the laser case to solder? or just solder again on the between the solder point of cable and laser? Thanks

Do it will main motor issue? If yes, how can repair on it? Thanks

kaosun

It has nothing wrong with your spindle motor. You'll take out of the laser assembly, better remove the laser cover and finish the trim of the 4 strings. The laser is easy to be disassembled so it's not too difficult to repair.

Hi Kaosun Master,
I had changed a new optical pickup, it can read Original CD very well, bit can’t read cdr (no toc as well). Do u have any advice? Thanks

But it seen very hot after play a cd, do it normal? Thanks

kaosun

It might be normal because the power adapter outputs non-regulated voltage to the player. The player generates heat during regulating the voltages.

Hi Kaosun Master,
I tried to play the CD for longer time. But when the player body heat, then it start to have noise or even not read. Do it possible cause by Capacitor in Power supply or player? thanks
