Player is skipping parts of cd

The problem is in the laser pickup assembly, buy a CD cleaning kit and follow instructions, if this fails! far cheaper to replace the player.

There is a product called a cd/dvd lens cleaning disc. Worth the investment to have around.

Be sure discs are free of dust and scratches.

At some time in its life, the laser that reads the CD starts to get too weak to operate reliably. That's probably what's happening here. Unlike mechanical parts that can be inspected for wear, electronic parts tend to work fine one day, then the next, poof. The laser assembly is replaceable if you can locate the part and find someone to install it. An electronic service shop could give an estimate for repair. If you can provide the full model number, I'll see if I can find the part number.

Hello

Ok, it sound to me that the laser lens which actually reads the cd's has some dirt particles on it.

There is a very cheap method of solving this problem.
Just go to any cd shop and buy yourself a decent laser lens cleaner disc, follow the instructions and you should be set.

Kind regards
Andrea

Hallo

Ok, it sounds to me like the laser lens is dirty, the easiest and cheapest sollution is to buy a cd laser lens cleaner.

This is actually a cd which you insert into the cd trey and it will clean the laer lens in the player. Hope this can help.

Kind Regards

change the motor disc spindle

If there's a disk left over inside, It's stuck in the drive hanger, and should be removed else the changer can't put it back in it's right slot. Open the machine and check for any CD's still inside.

If not, could be that the small sensore (to the left of the head assembly (just before the drve (upside down)) is dirty or messed up.

Try cleaning if.

Have you tried cleaning it? Use a DVD/CD cleaning CD. If it still skips, take it to a service center for a professional cleaning and/or diagnosis.

Have you registered you plaey with Creative. There is a good knowledge base on the Creative web -site Support where I got some good asnwers.

Take the small back cover off and take some electrical grade contact cleaner and spray all around the lens area, that worked for me.
