Title: DUO No power to CD drive motor
Post by: Keith Courage on July 10, 2013, 09:42:27 PM

I am working on a DUO that originally had a blown fuse. I replaced the fuse and now the CD drive motor does not move. Meaning when I hit run the CD drive does nothing. I checked and there is no power going to the CD drive motor. Anyone encounter this problem before?

Try running a small voltage source like a AA battery across the motor to see if the motor is still working.

Yeah the motor is still good. Board is just not supplying power.

Perhaps a bad cap somewhere?
