Ebenezer Joseph Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 Hi everyone, it's been a while since I have posted, however I recently purchased a marantz cd5005 cd for $50 in silver which had a laser pick up issue, it wasn't reading any discs, but I purchased it mainly because if this player could be repaired, it would be one of the best bargains for me. Note: I didn't take pictures of everything that I did, but hopefully you get what I did. Dismantling the player was the player and disc mechanism was the easy part. Getting the new laser mech ready for installation. As per instructions of most Sanyo laser mechanisms that I know of, the two short circuit contact points outlined in the picture above, out of the box are generally soldered together, once the assembly was done I made sure that the 16 pin ribbon cable was connected first before desoldering the short circuit contact so that it looks like the picture above where you can see two contact points. Then I just assembled everything back together ready for testing. And it's all working well, I used headphones to test the sound and is all working well with no need for further adjustment on the little pot for the laser. All put back together ready to play. The main problem was that the original laser mech had laser had gone off which I later found out was due a shredded bit of the circuit on the side of the laser mech which tells me that the player had been opened up before. But now that the player is fixed, it will be in my system for many years to come. 9
