NCDC 2013 playing up
« on: 09 December 2010, 15:45:06 »
My Sat Nav Disc keeps ejecting and Display says "Please insert CD Label up" and it is like that it used to do it odd times but these cold mornings its doing it all the time i have heard that they can be troublesome. I am hoping its just cold related because if i hold the disc to the heater outlet it then seems to work as anyone had this problem and can they be repaired
Thanks
Robert

Mine does this until the car/radio has warmed up...

Suspect the laser is on its way out...

What he said /\

there was a link provided in the ice section for a supplier of new lasers not long ago. Which is a relief as they where previosly unobtainable afaik.

Lasertrader is the place to get them. The one I fitted in one of mine has been fine, worth checking with SP32 how his one is going.

Using CDRs makes the situation worse (permenently)

thanks for the replys
i have only ever used original sat nav discs in the unit, as i said as soon as car is warm its ok but it must be a problem with the lazer,
will one of those cd cleaners be ok to run through. I dont want to make it worse if those cleaners are arnt any good.
on investigation on the net it recommends sending to siemens in germany.

I suspect a CD cleaner will do far my harm than good.

Who will return it to you (at a cost) with a note saying that the unit is beyond economic repair and charge you for the priviledge of telling you that.

Siemens no longer holds spares for these units.

Was going to suggest a group buy, but not sure it's worth it given the minimal savings?

Thats very good thanks all may order one
But on question for the boffins
is that lazer optical unit for the music side or the navigation side as i would have thought there would be 2 pickups, my unit plays music perfectly its just the navi that keeps spitting the disc out

thanks again
