I apologize : this is the wrong thread to post this stuff !
I reposted it in Electronics


Hello there !
I have 2 samples of this old but nice former Sony flagship.
Both have problems :
1) On first one, the laser does not focus any more and I get a "Can't read display". I have bought a spare optical pickup but then the laser diode of this brand new part does not even lights up thaough both motors (carraiage and focus) are acting. Is it due to a different ECO for this part ?
The reference of the pickup part is KHM-270AAA. Hoaw can I check that the sapre part was not DOA ?
2) On second one, everithing works fine except it cannot read the SACD layer of hybrid SACD. Single layer SACD workd just fine (but they are scarce !)
I have already cleaned the lens with a special CD. I read it could be due to the DSD chip verheating. Will a heatsink help ?

TIA for your help,
Herv
