Hi all,
My father in law recently picked up a really nice one owner/home use
OMT1015CD. The production date is 1999 with a serial in the 3909XXXX
range and it uses a amp labeled "Compact Amplifier 40 210".
Unfortunately it currently has a fair share of issues.

- The only LED Display output is a flashing "8". I checked the k7
actuator and found it had already been replaced with a hose clamp. I
adjusted the tail of the clamp to open k7 when the gripper is in the
home position and the CD clamp is fully opened. This allowed the
carousel to spin but the display still flashes "8" and the gripper just
keeps randomly grabbing CDs and putting them back without playing.

Is the machine is Self Test or Run mode? The SERVICE switch on the SC&C
(Selection and Credit Computer) should be off to Run mode.

Are the Z and K LEDs blinking when the carousel rotates? Read about that
on my page...#2-1.

Have you followed the troubleshooting guide posted there?


- I then turned my attention to the CD unit. From looking at the
pictures on flippers.com it's either a CDM12 or CD-PRO unit. The disk
spindle never spins up and the laser never seeks/hunts or powers up but
the LED on the controller board flashes "0" "1" "8" in a loop. If you
press button 1 it will scroll through the different modes 0-5 but
pressing the other two buttons does nothing.

If it is a CD player failure the CD would be placed on the player and
the machine would wait ten to twenty seconds - then return the CD to the
basket if it couldn't access the player. If it puts it back immediatly
then something else is wrong.


Any ideas from the pro's where I should start? If the cd drive is bad
will that cause the constant swapping of disks?

Thanks for any and all help,
J

Very busy right now, but I will pop in every day or so with more
suggestions if you report back your findings. Please do not edit the
thread other than removing useless text, I don't want to have to go back
through various messages to find the story here. Quote and answer like I
just did is best for clarity or process...
