Title: NEC PCE-LD1 LaserActive fault :/
Post by: gojira1954 on August 13, 2017, 04:16:31 AM

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

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 :/
