AHHHHHHHHH i love my deck but its broken i think!!! when i put a CD in it says reading reading reading reading reading and then eventually opens back up and throws up the cd.. (its a flip down).. BUT anyone have similar problems with this deck ? or their own?? please help - is there like a cleaner or something

 

does it do that for all CDs even store bought ones? i know mine doesnt work with some burning programs

 

did it ever begin to skip a lot going over bumps? if so the laser is probably shot.

 

it always played my burned cds

and never would skip on bumps..

any other ideas?? are there cleaning cds that clean it? or no

 

If it keeps throwing up it must be sick, there is a store bought laser disk that has a little brush that cleans the laser, or if you are brave open it up and clean the laser with a cotton swab and a tiny bit of alcohol if that doesn't work laser is shot.

 

i believe eclipse has a year or 2 year warranty that they will replace it for free if its damaged/stolen, thats why they dont have detachable face plates and the security codes which they have done away with for the new models because they got ripped off

 

ive had the deck for like 3 years lol just missed it i gues damn them

 

where do i get the laser disc that has the brush

 

I have seen them at Circuit City, Wal-Mart, Target etc. In the electronics, Just ask for it they will point it out.

Here is an example of one of the disks

can grab them at walmart or anystore that has general merchandise. music stores and best buy sell them but they are normally more expensive. If you're electronically inclined, I would say open it up and take a cotton swab and alcohol to it.... takes me less then 5 minutes to clean the laser in 99% of DVD/CD players. (taking it apart, cleaning, and back together.)

 

i think my shh*ts broken DSFJSFJESOFJeo lame.. BUT i think im going to try to go to a shop and see if they can fix it? is this possible??

if not then anyone have advice on a new deck?

 

Alpine or Kenwood will get you close to the quality you are used to with the Eclipse.

 

If you listen to CDs a lot.. Pioneer is a good choice without spending a lot of money. Apline and Kenwood good to but a little more money.
