Ok, after some very useful advice on here (as always) I replaced the duff changer in my HU with a doner CDC3. Followed the guide to the letter, again, very useful.
However...
The cartridge in the changer refuses to eject (so I have no idea if it works as there are no discs in it), although the button seems to work ok (flap open and display says the same), and now my single disc also refuses to eject, and the volume knob turns up & down, but push achieves no on or off- whereas the last 2 items were fine before I breaked about with it!
Help?
Please? >:(
-
did you put it in with battery on or off??? dose any thing come up on the display when turn'd on??
-
On, and everything else works perfectly, just the ejects & on/off
-
take battery off and leave it off for half hour then try it again if replaceing head or any thing should take the battey off to stop faultys coming up.
-
I'm 99% sure that half a faulty knob can't be caused by that, but I'll give it a go :-?
-
i know but a sort may have happen'd and only way to see if it has it to disconect battery and try again.
-
as most say on here they were fitted by windows so need to reboot ;D

Do you mean a short? The HU has been out and in again several times since, so I think anything like that would either have fixed itself, if not I can't see "re-booting" the rest of the car would help!
-
well only othere thing it would be is a fault with the head unit coss of sparking when the plug has been taken off and on with the battery still on as live all time for memory and has shocked the loader at same time.
-
I presume that the CDC3 was working before you ripped it to pieces?
Worth checking that the vertical board that you have transplanted into the CDC3 is seated properly - -
not uncommon for one of the connectors to not be fully "home", so would suggest pulling the board out and refitting it again, just in case.

Nope

If that was the case the fuse would have blown

Never heard anyone say that on here

Never ever had a problem caused by the permanent 12V on any head unit i've ever fitted or removed.
Personally i'd follow Dave's advice, if it worked (to a degree) beforehand then may be something that was disturbed or not seated properly on reassembly. The cartridge eject problem may have existed on the changer when you bought it.....

Admittedly I could/didn't try it, but the seller (who i've used before) assured me it did. Can't see how that would explain my sudden single eject issue or my knob problem

*volume knob problem!!!!!

Front bezel fully home against the top unit?
-
Top unit?
-
Sorry, what I mean is the front bezel has it's electrical connection plugged into the top unit, if not fully home you may loose buttons.
The bezels / switchpads can be a bit flaky - ask TheBoy, we've had to repair more than one now as part of a 'quick five minute installation job'!
-
Ah, I did have a problem with the multipin connector, the whole front was dead for a week or so. Thought I'd fixed that when installing the CDC3, as all else works.
Does seem a strange combination of faults tho
"There's no such thing as a '5 minute job'"
True words them!
-
On, and everything else works perfectly, just the ejects & on/off
try to Dismantle the front panel and see if it ejects.
if not you probably have torn Rubber band inside.
-
Rather than continue this in a PM that I have, is this resolved or not now?
-
Nope >:(
Not looked any further as been away, any advice from the master? ;)
Good holiday?
-
I would be looking for faults on the facia PCB, or the facia to top front board connection....
