Hi!
Electronics newbie here.
I bought an Arcam Solo Mini on ebay, and I'm very happy with it. It's a fine amp, and everything works except the CD player, which apparently goes through the initialisation procedure on the display screen, but the player itself makes no response, the platter doesn't spin, and eventually I get a "bad disc" error. I removed the player and can see no obvious fault. I can't tell if it's getting no power or no signal to initialise, but the motors never stir, even when a disc is inserted.
The model seems to be a "Komec" and has a serial number "c108*122130053".
The player seems connected to the main PCB by a ribbon cable and what's confusing me is that I see no other connection to provide power to the CD motors. Can a ribbon cable provide power to the player, or is there some other connector that is missing? I just took it that the ribbon cable was for control of the player, not for its power, but I'd be grateful if someone could let me know.
Thanks!
