AIWA Stereo repair

[Stealth_Sniper]

I have an AIWA 3 disk CD changer/stereo and whenever I put a CD in, it will pick up the CD but for some reason it won't spin the CD in order to read it. It sounds like it is going to start to spin, but then it dies out. Can anybody help me?

Most likely lost a capacitor on the drive circuit... high tech fix... doesn't sound good.

That stinks, you think there is anything I could do to it though to get it running again? I know that taking it to get it fixed is the best option, does that cost a lot to get a capacitor fixed?

Depending upon how old the unit is, it might not be worth fixing. You'd be surprised how much electronics have dropped in the past couple of years!

yes I have the same problem with mine...it spins the cd around for like 3 revolutions, then it stops. mostly with cd-r's though.
my unit is about 5 years old.
