Hi Technemoria, I hope you are doing well. Another good video. I have fun with these units. I have noticed that cd player's are still around and I get requests to repair some. We sure had great technology back in the day. It's so sad to see all this technology has gone away. I still work on VHS units but not many as in the past! Once again, great video! Be well! 🙂
Hello Alfonso :) Yes, this technology wasn't so bad after all... it certainly answered my dreams as a kid of having advanced compact technology containing knowledge and entertainment all in one ... Of course the classic LP had some charm as well **smile** See you soon for another video!
Oh boy... a VHS player huh? aarrgghhh not my cup of tea honestly... those are very complicated machines that need a lot of adjustments.... It would certainly be a challenge. I'll consider it ;)
@@TechneMoira Indeed, they are not my cup either. I did repair a few awhile ago, It was easy just replaced pinch rollers and belts. As you say, they are complicated units. The other factor is , very difficult to obtain parts since they are so outdated. I remember back in the early 80's I bought a Magnavox unit for $1300, that was a lot but it was new technology. I looked up on EBay and you can still buy them from $300 to $9.00. I'm not sure how many still own these units. I think stereo's , radio's and record player's are still around and btw , they are easier to work on. Meanwhile I hope you are doing well and once again, great job on these 2 video's. See you on the next round!! Take care!!!🙂
The laser head controls the processor, which controls the motor driver IC, and only then rotates the disc. If the laser head cannot see the disc, it will not spin.
Hello Chamberlin, glad to hear your repair worked out fine and that the video could be of help to you :) Thanks for your nice comment and considering subscribing !

@@TechneMoira See you on the next one. Who knows, maybe a VHS tape player? Take good care! 🙂

This saved me! Couldn't figure out why I wouldn't get spindle RPM after repair! Needs a disc! 👍
