I own a WELLTECH (juke-box-style)10 CD Tuner HIFI System bought at one of the LIDL stores in Spain. The rear of the main box indicates MICRO CD SYSTEM/40100/MACDW30 and its front reads "COMPACT DISC DIGITAL AUDIO" and "PLAYS MP3/CD/CD-R/CD-RW". This excellent equipment has suddenly stopped reacting to the remote and will no longer play the loaded CDs or DVDs. When I press PLAY, the screen displays: "READING" and then the system skips from CD to CD - always either displaying "READING" or "DISC 1" ... 2, 3, etc. but dosn't produce any sound at all. Before strting to display "READING", etc. it displayed "TRAY ERR" but now, since I took out the initially loaded CDs and replaced them with another selection, it no longer does so. Any ideas on how I might resolve theis problem? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
LIDL electronics are usually purchased in big stocks and then re-tagged in Europe or in US, it will be impossible to find schematics.
however from your description I can tell you already that the problem is restricted to the optical drive. The fault is either lens , controller, or motor. Most likely the lens.
When lens pickup is dirty or defective the unit will spin the disk, but the drive will not be able to focus to the TOC on CD/DVD, and will skip to next disk. To understand if it is the lens , all you need to do is observing if the disk is spinning. A test may be done jumpwiring and energizing directly the spindle motor.
If the spindle motor is working, then it is the lens, otherwise the motor.
If it is the lens, before replacing the lens you can try cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol and water (about 70% solution).
The controller board can also cause problems, but if the unit is operating this is rather uncommon.
I will restrict the diagnosis to lens or spindle motor.
Parts for no brand electronics are difficult to find, however both lens and spindle motor are quite standard parts. The parts can be purchased at an electronic spare retailer, or if the part number is printed on motor, use part number to get motor specs on google and buy same part.
The lens pickups are almost all compatible on this kind of unit if you take one from a similar unit. Lens replacement is quite a delicate job, and there is a good chance of unsuccess because of lens alignment issues.

I have an RCA Spirit of St. Louis Radio/Cassette/CD Boombox. The CD player has stopped working. How can I fix this? The disc spins but it appears the sensor is not picking up the readings from the disc. Perhaps the speed or alignment is not correct. Can the entire CD unit be replaced?
