The copper traces tend to crack where a track meets a solder pad<br />which makes it very difficult to spot.<br />The boards are quite sensitive to heat in this respect so be careful, use<br />a good iron and good quality solder.</p> <p>In your case, it seems that the basic functions are OK in that the carriage<br />is able to move both ways, the tonearm lifts, lowers and tracks, the motor<br />spins etc. but the controlling and/or sequence of the functions is not 100% working.</p> <p>Of course, another component could be at fault here but make sure you<br />replaced ALL electrolytic caps and got their polarity right. Resolder all<br />edge connectors and ribbon cable joints and any other joints that look bad.<br />I&#39;m sure you already did this but do it anyway. I often find more faults<br />under a microscope or better lighting and the more I look the more present and<br />potential future faults I find.<br />Also resolder the CPU socket inside the metal case and check the adjustments<br />of the &lt;&lt; and &gt;&gt; buttons.</p> <p>Martin</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/275506.aspxSun, 16 May 2010 18:00:51 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:275506Phil Hunt0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/275506.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=29&PostID=275506<p>I need help. 8002, recently re-capped, was having many symptoms before I restored the pin connection to the main chassis from the processor and reflowed several bad joints.&nbsp;</p> <p>Now all is OK except when a disc ends play -or- the stop button is pushed: tonearm lifts and arm servo moves it 3-4mm then stops.&nbsp;</p> <p>Push &quot;&gt;&gt;&quot; and it returns and shuts it off -or- &nbsp;each time the stop button is pressed, the arm moves a little, taking about 35 pushes to reach park/off.</p> <p>Any ideas??
