Generic problem for all Audio Shelf Systems
SA AK57
posted by JanPre on Feb 07, 2008
I have this system and when it works it works well. However, I am
having some strange problems with it that I cannt seem to be able to
identify. One is that it will not turn off. When I
hit power off it comes back on within a few seconds. It
doesn't turn on the music, but the display sayd HELLO and all the
lights flash. It does not play a cd or the turner if it is in that
mode, but it is on.
The other problem I have is that it seems to not want toplasy certain
CDs. Some of them play fine and others skip. I thought
maybe the CD was damaged, but I see it even happens on brand new
CD's I tried using a lazer cleaner, but that didn't help.
What could these problelms be and can they be fixed? If so, where can I send it to be fixed?

Thanks! I wasn't sure if it was worth fixing, but I guess I can
get a quote and then make a decision since I am not good with
mechanical things.
I think the not shutting off problem was due to a power hit we had during an electrical storm, even though I had a surge protector on it. ...either that or it's haunted. Thats a running joke in our house now. The thing is haunted and mocking us when it turns itself back on.

I already tried changing the outlet and taking it off the surge
protector and it still does it. I guess I'll look to the manu for
the auth repair shop near me.

WizThe staying on problem sounds like a capacitor having gone bad or it has a bad solder connection. I have seen both of these issues cause this problem. Other possibility is a bad IC. Though I have seen the cap be the problem more often.
On the laser reading issue. Many times a cleaner will not do the job. You need to open the unit up and clean it with a q-tip and alcohol. If that does not do the job then the laser has gotten weak and needs to be touched up. If you know how to use a meter and are comfortable on opening up the unit I could help you further on this. If you are not then you will need to take it to a reputable repair shop.

since the unit is on a surge protector, remove it from the protector and plug the unit into a different outlet. Your problem may be the surge protector itself. This would be a sure way to figure that out. Also try a different outlet. You may have a bad outlet as well. A outlet tester should tell you the conditoin of your outlets. You can get one from most hardware stores for around $5.00
if it is the unit then A reputable shop should be able to do this job for no more than 60.00 We would have done it for about 50.00 That should give you an idea of what to be expecting. Ask them thier labor rates up front. You may also want to check with the manu and see if they have an authorized repair shop in your area. Also ask others who have used them to be sure they have a good rep.
Other than that GOOD LUCK TO YOU!
