| Post subject: | [CLD-59] Issues engaging disc |
Hi Everyone. Looooooong time lurker. My CLD-59 has always had this issue, so I figured I would finally ask for help. It plays movies beautifully once I get it going. Flip works just fine. The problem is after you close the tray with a disc it struggles to engage the disc. A nice hard tap works every time. I've taken it apart and cleaned/lubricated everything. I've changed the belt. I can't get great visibility to it, but the piece that moves up to engage the disc is just stubborn. Any suggestions? |

Hi, welcome. Are you saying that after the disc is inserted, the optical assembly struggles to move to the inner starting area of the disc? Does chapter seek work ok? |

Chapter seeking and playback is 100% normal. Open Tray Insert Disc Close Tray Cannot clamp disc?. Disc does not attempt to spin. Just a persistent whirr of something to engage. Give it a whack, something engages. Everything works 100% normally from then on. Flip, Chapter seek, pause, etc. If I do not give it a whack, it will eventually spit the disc back out. |

Replace the load belt. |

VEB1184. SCQ3.8 is the generic equivalent. I had recently replaced the belt, but I went ahead and replaced it with another one I had. They were both from the same pack, but this one seemed to be a mm or 2mm different. It's working like new again. Hopefully it hasn't become accustomed to the S&M routine. No more whacking. |
