Hi,

I recently purchased a CLD-M301 from an auction site (shopgoodwill.com), which listed the player as being in good physical condition and as powering on but untested. Upon receipt of my player, I noticed that it won't spin up any of the titles that I have (Batman, Back to the Future, Unforgiven, Wizard of Oz); is this more likely a belt or a motor issue?

Also, in the event I need assistance recapping my player- is there anybody in the Tampa Bay area that can help me figure out what's going on here?

Thanks!

From what I've heard, these are very problematic in shipping due to the arm that picks up the CDs. Take off the top and post a video taken from the top and side (so we can see what the lens is doing) of when you try to play a LD. Then see if a CD will play.

Sure thing! It'll be a bit, because I'm at work- but I will happily do that.

Also, I've tried to play a CD/LD. Here's a link to a private video I posted (I was demonstrating the behavior) to a private discord server yesterday. I'll record some video later on with the top off and it trying to play a disc.

Yes, it's upside down, but it was taken from my phone. :p

OKAY, the long-awaited video of my player, demonstrating it trying to play a disc-

It sounds like something is jammed. Also check the photo here a few posts down Anonymous @ [CLD-M301] Issue to see if it is broken in your player.

I pulled this out of my player.

Link doesn't work, can you attach it to your post?

Didn't these never work even when new?

I now these M series are very bad.

They work fine but picture quality was definitely not the greatest. They were really built for convenience in respect to playing multiple CD's and that was about it.

In respect to reliability, my M90 works fine but that's because it was never shipped in the mail .
