I purchased a used 9000 MK1, and here's the problem it's having;

I have it mounted vertically (same issue when I had it mounted horizonally also). I turn the unit on...press cd button #1 (starts to play)...hit 'random' button (says 'random on')...and when the song is finished and it starts to switch to a different cd...it travels about a half an inch and stays there...sits for 20 seconds or so, then turns off.

I read through all of the posts...cleaned the laser...cleaned the door area sensors...blew out any dust...I even cleaned the top area under the 'Bang & Olufsen' disc (yes, I removed the entire headpiece and cleaned every area)...sill no avail.

Anyone else with this problem?

Any suggestions?

did u reset the "orientation screws" on the back?

Sure did.

Any other ideas?

I just tried it out by starting on cd #4 on random...it played a couple of songs on #4 cd, then read 'cd#5' (like it was about to move there), but again...it didn't move...stayed where it was for another 20 seconds and shut off again.

Strange, Eh?

OK...I just discovered something...the unit works just fine while the door is open (slow-motion on the transfer arm of course), but once the door closes, as soon as the cd is finished (or the last song on 'random'), it locks up when heading to the next cd.

I have had the glass door off during all of this by the way...doubt if this makes any difference???

Maybe a limit switch on the door closing mechanism that's malfunctioning?

Something I'm missing?

Any thoughts out there?
