Hello,
I purchased a working CDX many years ago. Broke it out of storage recently to play some old games. The CDX was starting to exhibit loading issues. Disc would spin, stop, spin, stop, Some games have better success than others. Some would play but have extended load times and others wouldn't make it past the title screen. Before seeking out a laser replacement I did some minor maintenance and cleaned the machine out and applied some white lithium grease to the rails thinking the dryness may cause it issues with loading. Loading didn't improve so I purchased a laser replacement (3 to be exact).
The lasers are labeled as follows.
SF-C93
SF-C93AQ
None of them seem to work fully. I can get all of them installed and when inserting a disc the laser head will move but the disc won't spin. (solder blob removed) When I reinstall the factor laser the discs will spin but have the issue above.
Any ideas? I'm not an eletrical engineer (yet) and have proper tools. Just need pointing in the right direction by someone more experienced.
Thanks for any help!
