fencer 0 Posted December 20, 2007 This isnt actually a 205 related question but I desperetly need some help on this one! About a week ago I was listening to a some of my mp3s on my way home when I bumped in a pothole (wasn't the fist one ) ... after calling most of the saints I noticed that my sterio had swiched off and then back on, no big deal.... But... it now wont read any CDs/DVDs what so ever! I had bought the sterio about a year ago over ebay and I dont wish to send it back to Hong Kong as it would be more worth it to buy a new one. Anyone who is good at electronics can give me a hint on what to do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone who is good at electronics can give me a hint on what to do? take it out disconect it all then reconect it back together as it switching off then back on could have crashed the stereo and it needs unplugging to reset it (most stereo's dont turn fully off so you dont lose your stations) or the pothole broke the cd drive ( could be anything if thats the case from laser broken to motor gone or a wire come lose inside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is disconnecting the battery terminal the same thing? To be honest I already disconnected the terminal thus resetting the sterio. I have contacted the guy where I bought it from and said that my simptoms indicate that there is no disk in the sterio. Does that mean the laser is busted?
