CD32 will not spin-up
I usually leave it plugged in ---
but with the units switch off I am thinking something (Caps ?) may have been worn down by the constant power ? The Laser Rail seems very stiff but it returns to center... Also it does not re-set when you lift the lid... Last edited by Nobby_UK; 10 May 2022 at 18:35. |

Have you checked the obvious? I.e the switch when the lid is closed?
If the CD32 hasn’t been recapped. Have you opened up the case to see if you have any leakage? Things to try Bromigo! |

sometimes the lid must be kept shut very firmly, there's a switch pluging into the machine, if this switch is worn out it's too small and the lid is seen as open.

First thing, is clean laser lens.
Being dirty would cause it not to spin. |

Did Clean it = No Difference
Can't see any switch connected to the lid ??? Well, the big caps are (as usual) reversed and have leaked --- can't see any damage But would they stop the drive spinning ? A lid switch would make sense as I have been storing a load of crap on top of it... Last edited by Nobby_UK; 11 May 2022 at 12:49. |

Nah
Apparently the switch is a Photo-diode on the ReSet/Volume board Looks OK ? How would I test it ? Last edited by Nobby_UK; 11 May 2022 at 14:39. |

I’d get it off for recap/test and repair Mang!
You appear to be in Liverpool, North Wets, England. Worth giving Mutant Catterpillar a shout as he’s just over the border in Wales (Anglesey). The guy Ian should be able to advise you Bromigo! Also read this if leaking caps as yours might go the same way soon; http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=110566 |

Black (Receiver ?) shows like a resistor (1 both ways)
White (Transmitter ?) shows 1 one way and 1280 the other R3 = 1 one way and 178 the other R4 = 1 both ways Also that Copper (?) strip on the end of a wire become detached --- I'm assuming it is a ground for the headphone/speaker socket and not for anything else ?

Is the flex ribbon cable going from the CD drive to the motherboard intact or plugged in securely. I had this problem before and it was all down to that cable not making proper contact.

Seems fine to me (at the motherboard end anyway)
Shielding removed to ensure a good connection Simulating (or for real) the Lid opening does not cause a reset The Laser does not return to Center Last edited by Nobby_UK; 23 May 2022 at 17:39. |

No switches near the lens.
