Hello everyone i have a big problem with a nec laseractive.
Hucards work fine, the problem is with cd and LD.
When i put a cd on it disc spins but after 5 seconds it stops. When i put a LD nothing spins....Laser motor moves and red laser is ok....
Laser gone??

Is the ld/cd unit ( PCE-LD1 ) ever work since you got it ?

there is a little FAQ/truoubleshooting guide for laseractive, you can have a quick look

Then 2 things I will do first.

1. Use water to clean the laser lens.
2. If still no luck,  try to adjust the pot on the laser lens just a little bit (clockwise)  to see if it helps

Clean done. Where is the pot? Maybe i tried time ago, can you let me know where is it? Thanks

The pot is located on the laser lens.  It is a tiny pot on top of the ribbon cable and below the white circle of the lens

LD spins, seems some good sign... Please try to turn the pot marker to 12 o'clock position

I am unable to upload the picture which shows the position. what is your email ?
