Cdj 800 not reading disc until warmed up

I have a CDJ 800 MK2 which i have replaced the laser and transport mechanism I have also replaced one of the fuses from the transformer. The CDJ will now only play after around 3 minutes of being turned on. Before this it either does not read and spits the CD out or gives the error code E-8303

Downtown Radio was one of my Authorized Service Centers when I worked for Pioneer. They are no longer in business. The issue that Nathan is having, is quite different than a loss of power or ground, caused by an bad IC Protector, which is merely a complicated fuse. Unfortunately, I think you damaged the Optical Pickup(laser) when you installed it. This part, as well as most parts in this unit, are ESD sensitive and without taking the precautions, that pickup may be useless now. For more information, please visit my website at audioserviceclinic.com. You may contact me directly through the website. Thank you.

SOURCE: cdj 800 keeps skipping

Does it keep skipping, or does it keep looping? 2 very different things. If it's skipping, it will sound like it's scratched, and will only skip on some CDs, and not others - unless your tray is messed up.

SOURCE: cdj 800

Traverse assembly (laser reader) is more than likely damaged and needs to be replaced.

The part is located here:

CDJ 800 MK2 - when disk is inserted the disk attempts to spin but does not spin fast enough to read then ejects disk. I have had the transport replaced but this did not fix the problem. Could it be a bad...

For the record I own a pair of CDJ 400's. This is an odd problem as I could only really think of one problem. It may be extremely dusty inside to the point where it is not allowing the spinning of the discs. Try your best to also see if something was jammed in there or if anything at all is stuck. Your going to need to do a bit of cleaning in there and that's honestly my best advice, good luck!

You might have damage to the reader, and I can only suggest replacing the CD Traverse/Transport assembly.
