Hi, in this one we'll take a look at this CD Walkman, Sony's DEJ-100. the fix was simple, the laser pick up was... I don't want to spoil the video. enjoy.
I was able to fix my Sony cd walkman(D-FJ041) by adjusting the drive height. The cd was too close to the lens and couldn't read it. Cd's play fine now.
I have the same model as yours, a D-EJ100, and I did the same as you. Opened it up, checked that the gears span correctly (they did, the thing moved fine when I rotated them), and I checked that everything was connected properly and in the right place (the wires, they were), and put it back together and it still didn't play anything. I know the laser is the problem, because it turns on, the disc spins, and everything looked fine. I'm wondering if the motor is broken? It detects a disc inside and when I press play it just freezes on the "00" screen rather than showing me the disc time. Any help?
Also I can confirm via my stereo that it is not the disc that's broken. I don't know if the lens detects a disc for the "disc" message to popup or if it's more simple than that, but the 3 guesses I have right now is broken motor, broken wires or broken lens (and I do not particularly wanna try replace the lens)
Hi, I don’t know. but if I were to guess, maybe the motor is stuck and the load to drive it is too much for the batteries, or there’s a short somewhere on circuit board. Or something else. Unless you investigate we can’t know for sure. Good luck.
