Numark ICDX problems?

hey guys, ive posted this problem before in another thread regarding my Numark.

Basically my Numark ICDX player is boned, it seems to reject certain cds.. both burnt and normal cds.
...it wont load my cds (as in it struggles to read them) it wont eject and it makes really bad noises.

I tried updating firmware but that did nothing... anyone know what i should do?


Apparently these guys can fix CD players... anyone know how much and if theyre any good?

Thanks in advance

sounds like a dirty/misaligned laser/head, so it spins out of control up to the highest speed trying to read the cd?

unplug it, open it up, give the laser head a spray with either some air-in-a-can or some isopropyl alcohol (IPA).

if ya really desperate, get a cotton bud and dip it in some metho, and give it a lil wash, make sure you leave no strands on the laser lens.

should fix it.


if you doubt my methods, ask del or writa on this board. they can vouch for me. i fix shit like new.

yeah sounds like a laser problem.

that's what my old stereo used to do.  would have cost me more to fix the laser than it cost for the stereo!


oooh, thanks for the hot tip kurko.. it's still sitting in my cupboard gathering dust, maybe i can fix it woo!

Pour sand into the disc slot. I read it on the internet.

if you are gonna get it repaired, derringers ftw

okay!

or.. Electronic Audio Workshop... on South Road @ Black forest... They know their shit! 

so is there an authorised numark repair in adelaide?

i just found my warrenty shit for it.

derro's should take care of it for you then, if that's where you got it from

i took my soundcard in there under warranty
