Can anyone recommend a good Modder in the UK to do rgb and cap replacement?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Super CDROM2 Clicking noise]

My super cd rom does exactly the same thing with cd-r but plays originals fine. mine hasn't been re capped or had a laser swap\pot adjustment as i cant find anyone in the uk who could do either. I did find by accident that if i turn my system upside down it will play any backup burnt on any brand of media i throw at it. it'd be interesting to know if yours works upside down.

Thanks for the info guys, I'll look at the pot settings first. do I use the same values as those identified in the DUO laser and pot adjustment sticky thread?

I've had another look inside and I think a number of the caps may have already been swapped. I'm fairly new to all this so could you guys have a look at the pictures and tell me if you think these look like they have been swapped?

Hi, First post here. I'm hoping you guys can give me some advice.

It's started struggling to read discs, the disc spins and sometimes it loads fine, sometimes it loads after doing a bit of seeking and sometimes it continues to seek and then gives me the set disc message. The strange thing is it started doing it one time while a mate was playing on it, I was in the other room and he decided to turn it upside down like he used to have to do with his PS1 back in the day and it worked! In fact if you turn it upside down it plays all discs fine first time and the load times are quicker. It'll even play CD-r's if upside but refuses to play them at all if its the correct way up.

Does anyone have any other fix suggestions or is it time to do a full cap replacement, laser swap and pot adjustment?

I've had a good look in the unit itself and non of the caps look like they need replacing but i'm aware of the problems with them and they'll likely need doing soon anyway so my question is are there any specific caps the would give me the issues i'm having that I should look to replace first? My next question is around POT settings, I've found plenty of threads discussing duo pot values but none for the super cd rom, should the values be the same or does anyone have the best values to apply to a super cd rom or any other advice?

Thanks
