When trying to load a disc, the music equipment displays the message "No disk" or "Error". We will tell about sources and ways of eliminating this problem in our article.
The main reasons why the music center does not read discs
Faults are divided into two types:
- The problem is with the disks
- failure in the music machine.
The first option means a problem with reproducible products: mechanical damage or incorrectly chosen format.
In the second case, possible sources:
- random hang
- lens dusting
- readhead or spindle drive failure, calibration error, etc.
ON A NOTE. The service life of the laser unit is on average from 3 to 5 years, depending on the intensity of use.
How to fix problems
Before inspecting the internal components of the device, try removing the disc, then completely de-energizing the player, turning it on again and reloading the floppy disk. These manipulations will eliminate random hangs at startup.
Check the discs for visible damage, scratches on the tracks, make sure that their surfaces are not curved. If you used them for the first time, then check that the format conforms to the standards read by the equipment.
Next, you need to clean the dust and plaque from the laser lens - it is sensitive to the ingress of foreign particles.
REFERENCE. Minor dirt on the drive removes the cleaning disc. In specialized stores you can find models with three levels of cleaning due to special villi, which are applied to the washing liquid. We do not recommend buying them on the market - there is a risk to take a low-quality product that will damage the entire optical unit.
If the cleaning product did not help, proceed to the manual method (with confidence in their abilities). Here's what to do:
- Prepare a syringe, cotton wool (or cotton swabs - not ear, but prepared from thin matches and cotton swabs), glass cleaner, magnifying loupe.
- Turn off the device completely, then proceed according to the scheme of your music center (if not, you can download it on the Internet): remove the top case cover so that you can see the drive and the laser lens.
- Check the condition of the lens. In working condition, it will be brilliant, with a bluish tinge. There should be no dust, litter, raid.
ATTENTION. We proceed with caution, as the element is on a fragile drive. There should be no ethyl alcohol in the cleaner, since it destroys the plastic surfaces.
Syringe blow off minor pollution. We squeeze a few drops of the agent into some container and dip the cotton swab so that flakes do not form. Slow movements process the lens, only slightly pressing, if necessary, change the cotton buds.
ON A NOTE. When cleaning the lens will spring move in different directions, this is normal, the main thing is not to push hard.
After each wash, take a magnifying glass and check for contamination. Continue the process to perfect shine. Leave the device to dry and then assemble. According to user feedback, this method has proven its effectiveness.
If all the manipulations did not lead to the desired result, then the problem is in the laser unit. You need to contact the repair shop, where they will diagnose and replace the failed element.
In our article we examined the reasons why the device does not see the disks, and how to eliminate it. We hope our information helped you to restore the work of musical equipment.
