My beocentre 9500 cannot read CD / sometimes play with click sounds after servicing for 20 years. I sent it for B&O service and I was told that the CD lens is getting old and cannot be replaced coz' no parts are available now.

Anyone know if this can be fixed apart from B&O service ? Many thanks.

Not sure if the transport/laser is by Philips, but if it is, you can definitely get the parts here.

Check first with the service manual which exact Philips unit it is, before you buy.

Mmmm! Not heard this one before. A geriatric laser lens!!!

More likely to be c2103 on the servo board. Search the forum for "c2103" and you will find loads of info. Suggest you search the entire site.

Hi woobenedict

You most replace the cap c2103 on the servoboard it,s located on the cd unit  it must be replaced with exactly the same type,and also change all the other cap's on the board the type here is not so critical

All,

Thanks for information. I just call up the B&O service again today to understand the situation and know that they are using philip CD lens .. I am not an expertise on electronics .. maybe I try to fix it in some local servicing.

Hi woobenedict

If you use a local service you must tell them that the c 2103 must be the same type and be sure that if its not a b&o service that the know how to handle b&o.
