The BL7000 is defect, the "no contact" problem is a common fault...

Oder die Beosound auf Option 2 programmieren...

Hello Jesper, the service mode is for testing wether the drive has any response or control e.g. moving the laser arm in and out, starting to focus, first adjustment and wether the drive can read. These adjustments during service mode have different readings than in normal operation. The data i gave for the CD5500 are during normal operation, they can

Du meinst die senkrecht in der Mitte stehende Platine? Ja, die hätte ich noch intakt da... was ist denn kaputt?

Try the unit upside down or on the side ;) That's no joke... The gravity of our earth has some effect on the lense of the laser and bends it more and more downwards... so, try it.

Das sind ganz normale handelsübliche Feinsicherungen, die bekommt man in jedem Elektrohandel.

... und wenn nicht, ich habe noch eine nagelneue MCL2P Platine auf Lager Sollte aber auch kein Problem sein, die alte zu richten...

Hi, the VX7000 has similar problems like the older VX5000/5500. The VX7000 has a power supply on the lower mainboard, there a 4 hot spots around the 4 power regulators... and dying caps. The video signal matrix is on the cpu board right in the middle of the VX. That's a really hot area... and exactly there is also the biggest problem with the caps

No, that's not a good idea... the tuner is IEC bus controlled, if there is no communication with the tuner, the system may fail... i have never tried to use the VX without a tuner... hmmm, i will try it next time ;) But probably nothing will happen, if you dont repair the tuner.

Ups, sorry. The right name is Ridax :)
