Finally got my first ever lot of 40 Laserdiscs.
And the player is playing them
. But, it still wont play DVDs and CDs.
After playing side A for about 2 min, it starts looping for 3-4 sec and to move forward I have to skip to the next chapter. The same thing happens again and it becomes harder to skip. Same problem with side B too. While looping, it makes a rattling noise, but I cannot find its source. The gear is OK and while changing pickups, the gears work smoothly.
Someone's been into the player, a power supply K2333 mosfet has been changed and the fuse has been conveniently shorted with a wire
One more thing, I connected the audio and video out to my amp and there was no video and audio, only noise. I reversed the power plug and the audio video was ok. I believe there is some sort of leakage current all over the player. I can feel a mild shock when I touch a bare metal part. This current was probably going into the amp and causing the noise. Could the power supply be faulty???
