Got an issue with the CD Rom on a PCE Duo I bought, and I'm hoping someone here might be able to point me toward a fix...
The CD Rom drive won't spin up properly to recognise a disc. When you hit run it starts to spin (slowly) and then gives up after a few seconds saying it cannot detect a disc.
Ok, so ALL caps on the system have been replaced.
That's done nothing to improve the issue.
The motor for the assembly has been tested and is fine - it's not the motor.
The laser lens has been swapped out for a brand new one - same issue.
I've exchanged the entire CD-Rom assembly from a known working Duo to this faulty unit and the donor CD-Rom then has the same issue as the original.
So, something tells me it's something on the motherboard, but what I don't know!
Anybody out there come across this before? Any suggestions for things I should be testing / looking to replace?
