MY CD play shat itself the other day and jsut would not read cd's, so i took it in to autobarn and a guy fiddled with it and now it wont even turn on...
Is there anywhere local you can take them to get sumone to look at it or does it need to be sent to pioneer ??
any help would be great thanx all
Your best bet, if the unit is not under warranty is to actually purchase a new Headunit. The labour and parts costs is not be worth it. The total charges of getting it fixed might cost you more than getting urself a new unit.
As J-MuN said it's probably time to bite the bullet. Not worth paying to have it repaired.
Mind you before then check all connections on the unit as well as the fuse to make sure there not causing any troubles.
Where in brissy are you man cause i can take a look at it if you want?
northside braken ridge area
you ?
haha southside for me :P damn ppls being ages away. Come along on the honda in the hills cruise and i'll have a look see for you at some stage :)
hmm dont reali go on cruises :|
the head deck is worth over $1000 i think so i dont wana just
buy a new one either
as someone posted previously, check your connections and fuses. If its not reading, it my be dirty. Try one of those cd player cleaner kits.
what deck is it by the way?
im not sure, it was in the car , its pioneer thats all i know and is pretty pricey
i have it booked in to autobarn next week they r gona check all the wireing and clean out the cd player so hopefully all will be good after that.. i jsut bought a new 12" orion today so i dont reali need to be spending much more money ...... i hope :\
if its not reading discs, then its a 95% chance that the laser assenbly has died and gone to heaven, if its a $1000 deck and its a reputable brand you can most likely get a new laser for it but you will need to get an electronics repair shop to check it out and fit it (call the place you bought it from and find out who the repair agent is for the brand).
if its not under warranty then it will cost you a few hundred $, so you might have to weigh up the pro's and con's of fixing your deck or buying a new one.
