Why don't you try tweeting radcliffe, maconie or 6 music, should get a reply

I had one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00B4XCHEY/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21 off Santa, works quite well, no drop out problems, but battery life is about 3 hours of continual use, it can be run off the mains, but if battery is low I charge it off the usb output of my Asus Transformer...

Thank you, I'll have to borrow a meter and make further investigations.

Thank you for your advice, are you aware of anything I can try to further narrow down the problem?

Yes I've had a look, absolutely nothing happens. The laser doesn't move or make any attempt to read the disc, also the disc doesn't spin at all. I think the mechanism should lift up slightly, but something seems to tell it the drawer isn't closed.

Update on this annoying issue, I've changed the entire cd laser mechanism and still the player says close on the display and does not attempt to read discs. Any ideas as to the cause of the problem? My logic is saying tray micro switches but I have no idea where they may be located.

I haven't had a chance to replace the mechanism yet, will be ordering the part soon. At the moment the laser does not try to read discs as the tray is closing, but a message of close is on the display, so something is telling the player that the drawer is still open.

Thanks Cesare, I've tried to see if anything obvious is loose and of course it all looks well, if I could work out which is the possibly guilty micro switch it may help, but schematic diagrams are a mystery to me.

looking for some help with a problem on my Arcam CD192. It has had the laser replaced twice in recent years by Arcam due to skipping and disc read problems. Of late it has been fussy over reading certain discs, upon putting the discs into my bluray player and car cd they work fine. A few...

Not exactly cheap, but better than £60, just noticed this is a promo copy. http://www.gemm.com/store/EILCOM/item/LENNON-JULIAN-EVERYTHING-CHANGES-CD/2027583461

The 1996 cd is a remix by Andy Macpherson & Jon Astley. It sounds weak next to the original vinyl issue.

Iggy Pop flogs car insurance these days, Peter gabriel doesn't, so who has most rock cred?

It's on Sky Anytime atm
